ABSTRACT:
A modulator enables the modulation of a wave in the medium infrared range by means of a signal modulating the amplitude of another electromagnetic wave in the near infrared range. The modulator comprises: a central layer such that the electrons of the conduction band have at least two permitted discrete levels of energy, the energy difference of which corresponds to a frequency close to the frequency of the wave to be modulated, and such that the holes of the valence band have permitted levels of energy such that the difference in energy between the permitted fundamental level for the holes in the valence band and the permitted fundamental level for the electrons in the conduction band has a value close to that corresponding to the frequency of the control wave.
