Optical modulators can perform electro-optical conversion
An electro–optic modulator (EOM) is an optical device in which a signal-controlled element exhibiting an electro–optic effect is used to modulate a beam of light. The modulation may be imposed on the phase, frequency, amplitude, or polarization of the beam. The article explains how a Pockels cell within the modulator acts as a. Abstract: Electro-optic modulation performs a technological relevant functionality such as for communication, beam steering, or neuromorphic computing through providing the nonlinear activation function of a perceptron. Unlike direct modulation of the laser.
