ABSTRACT:
An optical modulator consists of an electrical input for receiving an electrical control signal, an optical output for outputting an optical signal, and at least two optical cavities coupled together according to a set of coupling parameters. The electrical control signal frequency is in a narrow frequency band, and the coupling parameters are selected to match the modulator frequency band of operation.
