    Abstract: A plasmonic phase modulator and a method of phase modulation employ modulation of surface plasmons. The plasmonic phase modulator includes a semiconductor substrate configured to provide a surface charge that forms a plasmonic channel at the substrate surface. The modulator further includes an electrode and an insulator between the electrode and the semiconductor substrate. The electrode is configured to provide an electric field that influences the surface charge. The electric field includes a bias field component and a modulation field component. The surface plasmon is supported within the plasmonic channel at an interface between the semiconductor substrate surface and the insulator. A phase of the surface plasmon in the plasmonic channel is modulated by changes in the electric field. The method includes propagating the surface plasmon in the plasmonic channel and varying the modulation field component to modulate the phase of the propagating surface plasmon.

    Abstract: A spread spectrum waveform generator has a photonic oscillator and an optical heterodyne synthesizer. The photonic oscillator is a multi-tone optical comb generator for generating a series of RF comb lines on an optical carrier. The optical heterodyne synthesizer includes first and second phase-locked lasers, where the first laser feeds the multi-tone optical comb generator and the second laser is a single tone laser whose output light provides a frequency translation reference. At least one photodetector is provided for heterodyning the frequency translation reference with the optical output of the photonic oscillator to generate a spread spectrum waveform. A receiver pre-processor may be provided to operate on the spread spectrum waveform.

    Abstract: A light valve (10) includes a layer of a liquid crystal (16), a MOS substrate structure (18) with a dielectric layer (24) and a semiconductor layer (26), and an optically isolating mirror (14) between the liquid crystal layer (16) and the substrate structure (18). An external AC biasing voltage is applied across the MOS substrate (18) and the liquid crystal layer (16). The liquid crystal layer (16) is sufficiently thick that it operates in the surface birefringent mode with a high contrast ratio and a short response time to changes in the write-in light beam, when a sufficiently high biasing voltage V.sub.p is applied.
