The approach of using an electro-optical modulator instead of a laser diode for the optical interconnection shows the main advantage that no additional control circuit for the modulator has to be integrated, whereas an integrated transmitter module must be provided to establish an optical interconnection with laser diodes. 4, record 1, English, - electro%2Doptic%20modulator

Electro-optic systems consist of a Mach-Zehnder optical modulator, laser light source, photo-detector, and attached antenna element. The laser light source and photodetector are connected to the optical modulator via fiber optic cables. The modulator is an interferometric system in which the optical power output varies with the voltage supplied from the antenna element. 3, record 4, English, - optical%20modulator
