Abstract:
Provided are an optical modulation device and a method of operating the same. The optical modulation device may include a nano-antenna, a conductor, and an active layer located between the nano-antenna and the conductor. The optical modulation device may further include a first dielectric layer located between the active layer and the conductor and a second dielectric layer located between the active layer and the nano-antenna. The optical modulation device may further include a signal applying unit configured to independently apply an electrical signal to at least two of the nano-antenna, the active layer, and the conductor.

Claim (Index 29):
An optical modulation device comprising:\n a plurality of conductive elements spaced apart from one another; a plurality of nano-antennas facing the plurality of conductive elements; an active layer disposed between the plurality of conductive elements and the plurality of nano-antennas, wherein the active layer is spaced apart from the plurality of conductive elements and from the plurality of nano-antennas and wherein at least one property of the active layer is variable based on a voltage applied thereto; and a voltage applying unit configured to independently apply a voltage to each of the plurality of conductive elements and to each of the plurality of nano-antennas, wherein the voltage independently applied to each of the plurality of conductive elements causes a change in a charge concentration occurring in a first region of the active layer and the voltage independently applied to each of the plurality of nano-antennas causes a change in a charge concentration occurring in a second region of the active layer, the change in the charge concentration occurring in the first region and the change in the charge concentration occurring in the second region modulating light incident on the optical modulation device.
