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. Modulation bandwidths extending into the gigahertz range are possible with the use of laser-controlled modulators.
In 1999, Hewitt and Reed 39 also proposed, through simulation, a multimicron three-terminal optical p-i-n modulator based on SOI, which is also similar to the one proposed by Cutolo et

An optical modulator is a device which can be used for manipulating a property of light — often of an optical beam, e.g. a laser beam. Depending on which property of light is controlled, modulators are
Optical modulation can be categorized as direct modulation or external modulation. Direct modulation is directly performed on an optical source, which is usually a light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser,
An optical modulator is defined as a device that modulates a beam of light, which can travel through a vacuum or optical waveguide, by controlling parameters such as amplitude, phase, or polarization.

An optical modulator is a device which is used to modulate a beam of light. The beam may be carried over free space, or propagated through an optical waveguide (optical fibre). Depending on the parameter of a light beam which is manipulated, modulators may be categorized into amplitude modulators, phase modulators, polarization modulators, etc. The easiest way to obtain modulation of intensity of a light beam is to modulate the current driving the light source, e.g. a laser diode.
