1) An optical modulator is an optical device which is used to modulate a beam of light with a perturbation device. It is a kind of transmitter to convert information to optical binary (off /on) signal through optical fiber (optical waveguide) or transmission medium of optical frequency in fibre optic communication.


2) A transceiver is a combination transmitter/receiver in a single package. While the term typically applies to wireless communications devices, it can also be used for transmitter/receiver devices in cable or optical fiber systems. In our case optical fibre systems.

Now the big stuff:

Lightwave has discovered a way to use a polymer (plastic) with specially designed molecules placed in the plastic (while in a liquid or semi-liquid state) in such a way that the molecules can be controlled by tiny electrical currents that cause them to either "stand up" like an army or "fall down" randomly. If the stand up together they block the light and when they fall down randomly light is "unperturbed". This is much much faster than mechanical systems or other systems because molecules are really tiny. The semi-liquid is "frozen" at low temperatures so that the special molecules work together when a small current is applied and this is really "exciting" since it has NEVER been achieved before in the 20-30 years that it has been attempted. (I know I know I am oversimplifying this for the techie's that are reading this).

Because of the way these molecules work at low voltage the polymer can interrupt light at extremely fast speeds and thus it becomes a perturbation device described above operating...... let's say 10x faster than other "switching systems" and therefore can handle much much more data at much much lower energy levels and can be reduced much much more in size.


You super techies out there can correct my errors in trying to explain this in laymen terms.
