Abstract
A device structure is provided for optical modulation using a quantum interference effect in an excited state of electron-systems. The optical modulation is performed by causing the effect of modulation on the excited state of electron-systems represented by excitons to be executed on light via the state in which the light and the excited state of electron-systems represented by the excitonic polaritons are coupled.
