What is lithium niobate modulator?

Lithium niobate modulator is an electro-optic device that uses a signal-controlled element which exhibits an electro-optic effect to modulate an optical beam. The basic knowledge behind these modulators is to modify the electric-optical properties of a material such as amplitude, phase, position, and frequency.

Why is lithium niobate used as an electro-optic modulator?

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. That means that if lithium niobate is exposed to an electric field, light will travel more slowly through it.

What is EOSpace?

“EOSpace is an EOS block producer based in China. EOSpace will develop and maintain tens of communities on EOS’s blockchain including a distributed blockchain lab, a news center, an overseas operation, an investment banking service, and a crypto exchange center.”

How does an optical modulator work?

Acousto-optic modulators are based on the acousto-optic effect. They are used for switching or continuously adjusting the amplitude of a laser beam, for shifting its optical frequency, or its spatial direction. Electro-optic modulators exploit the electro-optic effect in a Pockels cell.

What are the types of electro-optic modulators?

Phase modulators are used to stabilize the frequency of a laser beam, or to mode-lock a laser. There are basically two types of modulators: bulk and integrated-optic. Bulk modulators are made out of discrete pieces of nonlinear optical crystals and are typically used on a lab bench or an optical table.

What is EOP Cryptocurrency?

EOSpace data EOP is super ecosystem token for constructing and improving EOS ecosystem. Users had to send 0 ETH to the EOSpace contract address to receive the Ethereum based tokens, which will be swiped later on for EOS based tokens.

What does a laser modulator do?

An acousto-optic modulator (AOM, also sometimes called a Bragg cell), is a device which can pulse the laser or alter the transmitted power at a very high frequency. Basically, they function by sending the laser beam through a crystal which is subjected to acoustic vibrations.
