Abstract

Irradiation devices and methods of amplification and irradiation are disclosed for displaying pixels and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) analysis. The devices include an optical modulator, which may be configured for operation in a variably transmissive state. An active region may be formed in an optical waveguide with the optical modulator configured substantially adjacent at least one surface of the active region.
