Advantages and disadvantages of electro-optical module transmission
An electro–optic modulator (EOM) is an optical device in which a signal-controlled element exhibiting an is used to modulate a. EOMs offer advantages like high-speed modulation, broad wavelength compatibility, and compact integration, but they also face challenges including material cost, thermal constraints, and wavelength dependence. The modulation may be imposed on the phase, frequency, amplitude, or polarization of the beam.
