Abstract

Techniques to modulate light by using a whispering gallery mode optical resonator. The light modulator uses an optical coupler (121) to input an optical beam (104), from a laser (102), into a wispering gallery mode resonator formed of an Electro-Optic material (110). An electronic driving circuit (140) is coupled to supply the electrical wave to the electrical coupler (130). A control signal (150) can be fed into the circuit (140) to modulate the electrical wave. This modulation is then transferred to the output coupler (122) which provides a modulated optical output (124).
