Abstract
Metamaterial optical modulators can include one or more optical inputs, one or more optical outputs, one or more control inputs and an arrangement of a plurality of elements. The plurality of elements can include one or more variable state elements. The plurality of elements as arranged can be configured to modulate one or more properties of light passing through the metamaterial optical modulator via a change in a state of the one or more variable state elements based on one or more control signals received at the one or more control inputs.
