More Information
Summary:An optical modulator includes a plurality of nanostructures, each nanostructure of the plurality of nanostructures having a refractive index that is variable; a first insulation layer having a refractive index that is less than the individual refractive indexes of the plurality of nanostructures and surrounding the plurality of nanostructures; and a refractive index changer configured to change the refractive indexes of the plurality of nanostructures.
