1. An optical system for propagating optical signals, said optical system comprising:

  • an optical modulator having an optical medium and an array of lattice sites, the optical medium being operative to propagate optical signals, the array of lattice sites being located in the optical medium, at least some of the lattice sites exhibiting refractive indexes different than the refractive index of the optical medium, a first of the lattice sites including a first optical component moveable relative to the optical medium such that moving the first optical component relative to the optical medium alters propagation of optical signals through the optical medium.
