The field of integrated optics has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize the way we design and implement optical systems. Integrated optics involves the integration of multiple optical components, such as waveguides, modulators, and detectors, onto a single chip of material, typically silicon or III-V semiconductor. This integration enables the creation of compact, efficient, and cost-effective optical systems that can be used in a wide range of applications, from telecommunications and data communications to sensing and spectroscopy.
Hunsperger dedicates significant space to modulators. Problems usually require calculating the voltage needed to induce a phase shift.
