Abstract
Techniques and devices to modulate light by using a whispering gallery mode optical resonator exhibiting an electro-optic effect. An electrical signal is coupled into the optical resonator to change a dielectric constant of optical resonator and thus to modulate the optical output from the optical resonator.
