We demonstrate an optical-level shifter and a modulator whose transmission varies linearly with drive current, both based on a new, negative-feedback mode of operation of the recently discovered quantum-well self-electro-optic effect device. The system is compatible with both laser diodes and low-power semiconductor electronics and is applicable in both analog and digital optical processing. An extension of the system gives inverted, linear modulation of a coherent beam by an incoherent light source.
我们展示了一种光学电平转换器和一种调制器，其传输随驱动电流呈线性变化，二者均基于最近发现的量子阱自电光效应器件的一种新型负反馈操作模式。该系统与激光二极管和低功率半导体电子器件均兼容，适用于模拟和数字光学处理。该系统的一种扩展可实现由非相干光源对相干光束进行反向线性调制。
