  2. Electro-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optic_modulator

    A phase modulating EOM can also be used as an amplitude modulator by using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. This alternative technique is often used in integrated optics where the requirements of phase stability is more easily achieved. The beam splitter divides the laser light into two paths, one of which has a phase modulator as described above.

  3. Optical modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_modulator

    An optical modulator is a device which is used to modulate a beam of light. The beam may be carried over free space, or propagated through an optical waveguide (optical fibre). Depending on the parameter of a light beam which is manipulated, modulators may be categorized into amplitude modulators, phase modulators, polarization modulators, etc.

  4. Optical modulators using semiconductor nano-structures

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_modulators_using...

    The other case of modulators is spatial light modulator (SLM) which is modified two dimensional distribution of amplitude & phase of an optical wave. Optical modulators can be implemented using Semiconductor Nano-structures to increase the performance like high operation, high stability, high speed response, and highly compact system.

  5. Phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_modulation

    Phase modulation (PM) is a modulation pattern for conditioning communication signals for transmission. It encodes a message signal as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave . Phase modulation is one of the two principal forms of angle modulation , together with frequency modulation .

  6. Lee distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_distance

    It is applied for phase modulation while the Hamming distance is used in case of orthogonal modulation. The Berlekamp code is an example of code in the Lee metric. [ 6 ] Other significant examples are the Preparata code and Kerdock code ; these codes are non-linear when considered over a field, but are linear over a ring .

  7. Spatial light modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_light_modulator

    A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that can control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light in a spatially varying manner. A simple example is an overhead projector transparency . Usually when the term SLM is used, it means that the transparency can be controlled by a computer .

  8. Optical phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phase_space

    In quantum optics, an optical phase space is a phase space in which all quantum states of an optical system are described. Each point in the optical phase space corresponds to a unique state of an optical system. For any such system, a plot of the quadratures against each other, possibly as functions of time, is called a phase diagram. If the ...

  9. Optical transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transfer_function

    The 'modulation transfer function' (just a term for the magnitude of the optical transfer function with phase ignored) gives the true measure of lens performance, and is represented by a graph of amplitude against spatial frequency. Lens aperture diffraction also limits MTF.
