(under subclass 1) Subject matter wherein the optical properties of an optical waveguiding element which determine the temporal modula-tion are varied by an applied modulating electrical field.
(1) Note. Includes electro-optic modulation within an optical waveguide using a particular optical coupling (for example, between juxtaposed (adjacent) waveguides). Also, included is electro-optic modulation performed by a combination of components integrated on a common substrate or chip.
