AN-LD19: Modulation Basics
External Modulation is when the modulation is imposed onto the laser signal after the light is generated.2 Modulation such as Electro-Optic Modulation (EOM), Acousto-Optic Modulation (AOM),
Direct modulation involves superimposing the modulating signal directly onto the driving current of the light source, such as a laser diode. Direct and external modulation are primarily used in the optical domain with LED and Laser devices as methods for conve...
