  • Nanocrystal based high-speed electro-optic modulator
    Patent number: 6771410
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for modulating light with an array of nanocrystals. First photons are directed onto an array of nanocrystals and at least a portion of the first photons ate directed by the array of nanocrystals. In one embodiment, the array of nanocrystals emit second photons. A wavelength of the second photons is modulated responsive to a signal. In one embodiment, dopants are formed proximate to the array of nanocrystals and energy from the absorbed portion of the first photons is coupled to the dopants to cause the to emit third photons. An intensity of the third photons is modulated responsive to a signal.
