An [[optical modulator]] is a optical device which is used to modulate a beam of light with perturbation device. it is a kind of transmitter to convert information to optical binary signal through [[optical fiber]] ([[optical waveguide]]) or transmission medium of optical frequency in fiber optic communication. There are several method to manipulate this device depending on the parameter of a light beam like [[amplitude modulator]] (majority), [[phase modulator]], polarization modulator etc. | An [[optical modulator]] is a optical device which is used to modulate a beam of light with perturbation device. it is a kind of transmitter to convert information to optical binary signal through [[optical fiber]] ([[optical waveguide]]) or transmission medium of optical frequency in fiber optic communication.

The easiest way to obtain modulation is modulation of intensity of a light by the current driving the light source ([[laser diode]]). This sort of modulation is called direct modulation, as opposed to the external modulation performed by a light modulator. For this reason, light modulators are called external light modulators. | The easiest way to obtain modulation is modulation of intensity of a light by the current driving the light source ([[laser diode]]).
