Abstract :
The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Optical Modulators- Technologies and Applications. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to document leading-edge work in this field through a collection of original and invited papers that encompass different material systems including (but are not limited to): Si; polymer; InP; PLZT; GaAs; organic crystal; LiNb03. Papers are solicited on the science, technologies and applications of modulators for the amplitude, phase, frequency and state-ofpolarization of optical signals. All modulation frequencies and operating wavelengths relevant to quantum electronics are of interest.
