ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating optical modulator includes a continuous light path fulfilling an amplification function, an optical modulation part formed on the light path, a first optical band-pass filter and a second optical band-pass filter formed to nip the optical modulation part therebetween and a device to introduce exciting light for exciting the light path. The optical modulation part, first and second optical band-pass filters and device are disposed on the light path as formed in a single optical crystal or in a multiplicity of optical crystals. The first optical band-pass filter admits incident light and reflects light having the incident light modulated. The second optical bandpass filter reflects the incident light and emits the light having the incident light modulated. The modulator can also include a third optical band-pass filter disposed between the optical modulation part and the second optical band-pass filter for removing the incident light.
