Abstract

Abstract : Stark Effect Modulator Carlo Sirtori and colleagues present a high frequency Stark effect modulator in article number 2100414, which writes data‐bits on a laser beam by shifting the absorption of an optical transition in and out of the laser frequency. Paired with a quantum cascade detector they form a free space optical link allowing for 10Gbit s −1 data transmission at room temperature before any equalization.
