Researchers have developed a compact and high-speed electro-optic modulator for free space applications that modulates light at gigahertz speed.<\/h2>\n
Electro-optic modulators, which control aspects of light in response to electrical signals, are essential for everything, from sensing to metrology and telecommunications. Currently, the majority of research into these modulators is focused on applications that take place on chips or within fibre optic systems. However, what about optical applications outside the wire and off the chip, like distance sensing in vehicles?<\/p>\n
