DEFINITION

Classification: 359/246

Modulation of polarized light via modulating input signal:

(under subclass 245) Subject matter wherein a property of a polarized optical beam, such as amplitude, phase, polarization, frequency, or color are varied in a controlled manner by the applied electrical signal.
