Basic Principles and Selection of Optical Modulators

We will explain the appropriate selection criteria for high-speed communication and measurement.

As a representative example of applications, optical modulators for optical high-speed communication are mentioned. An optical modulator refers to a device that generates high-speed time signals through modulation. Generally incorporated into optical communication systems, it is a device that encodes the desired signal onto light by temporally varying the intensity, phase, or frequency of the light. This document will explain the basic principles.
