Abstract

A method for producing a modulated optical signal from a droplet of a liquid medium. The method positions a droplet of liquid on a hydrophobic surface, in the path of an optical beam, and modulates the shape of the droplet on this surface, by electrowetting, to modulate the signal obtained after passing the optical beam through the droplet.
