1. An optical modulation device for controlling propagation of electromagnetic radiation, comprising:

  • an optical modulation electrode that is substantially transparent to the radiation;

    a counter electrode comprising a layer of a conducting polymer; and

    an electrolyte containing a complexing anion and ions of an electrodepositable metal, said electrolyte being disposed between and in electrical contact with said optical modulation electrode and said counter electrode, whereby the electrodepositable metal is reversibly electrodeposited on said optical modulation electrode so as to affect propagation of the electromagnetic radiation.
