Abstract
Source: US2012148252A The present invention provides a method for modulating an optical signal in a semiconductor device. A wireless radio frequency modulation signal is used to provide a time-dependent electric field in a semiconductor nanostructure region, which causes a change in the absorption in the semiconductor device. An optical signal propagating in the semiconductor device will be modulated in accordance with the properties of the wireless radio frequency modulation signal, thus providing a method for encoding information from a wireless radio frequency signal onto an optical carrier.
