Abstract:
A system and method for controlling the energy flux of a light beam (carrier wave) relies on the manipulation of a light beam's Poynting vector to switch the light beam from one optical waveguide to another. A modulator positioned between the two waveguides has an index of refraction n+ik wherein ik is a loss/gain component. It is the manipulation of this loss/gain component ik by an external stimulus which causes anisotropic changes in orthogonal components of the light beam's Poynting vector. This, in turn, causes changes in the propagation distance of the light beam (carrier wave) over a length L along the waveguides that switch the light beam from one waveguide to the other.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 5  further comprising a voltage source connected to the PIN diode, wherein the index of refraction n+ik of the modulator is controlled by electric current injection from the voltage source into the PIN diode for causing \u00b1\u0394\u03b8.
