Some examples of applications of phase modulators are: * A phase modulator within a laser resonator of a single-frequency laser can be used for wavelength tuning, or for active mode locking (FM mode locking) of a laser. * A phase modulation of a beam with moderate modulation strength is often used in laser frequency stabilization schemes, e.g. with the Pound-Drever-Hall method. * Various kinds of interferometers and setups for spectroscopic measurements require phase modulators, often with a periodic drive signal. * Some metrology applications require frequency combs, generated by sending a single-frequency beam into a phase modulator. In that case, the phase modulation often needs to be strong in order to obtain a large number of optical sidebands. * In data transmitters of optical fiber communication systems, phase modulators can be used for encoding the transmitted information. An example is the method of phase shift keying. Source: http://www.rp-photonics.com/phase_modulators.html

What is the difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation?

The difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation is that with frequency modulation the angular frequency of the signal is modified while with the phase modulation, the phase angle of the signal is modified.

Frequency Modulation and Phase Modulation


How Phase modulation and frequency modulation are inseparable?

Phase modulation and frequency modulation are related because changes in the phase of a signal result in corresponding changes in its frequency. When the phase of a signal is modulated, it causes variations in the frequency of the signal as well. Therefore, in practice, it is difficult to separate phase modulation from frequency modulation, especially in communication systems where both aspects are interconnected.

Why phase modulation is used?

Actually phase modulation was used for the color signal in all analog TV systems.Phase modulation, with some signal preprocessing, was used to indirectly get frequency modulation in many FM transmitters.Certain modems use phase amplitude modulation.etc.

Why is Angle Modulation called nonlinear modulation?

angle modulation is called non linear modulation because the information is stored in phase of the carrier signal
