Abstract
Optical modulators and methods of modulating light include introducing light to an optical wave guide from a light source. The wave guide is formed of an elastomer film which is deformable by a mechanical or electrostatic force acting to change the cross section of the film and thereby modulate the light passing through the wave guide.
