Abstract
A system and method for data communications using a multiplicity of modulators, each of which accept a data input signal and modulate an optical carrier generated by a single optical energy source and propagated along a fiber optic waveguide. The carrier is modulated by the use of a doped polymer contained in the modulators and maintained in contact with the fiber optic waveguide.
