 Intensity modulation - Wikipedia
Intensity modulation (IM): In optical communications, a form of modulation in which the optical power output of a source is varied in accordance with some characteristic of the modulating signal.
Note: In intensity modulation, there are no discrete upper and lower sidebands in the usually understood sense of these terms, because present optical sources lack sufficient coherence to produce them.
The envelope of the modulated optical signal is an analog of the modulating signal in the sense that the instantaneous power of the envelope is an analog of the characteristic of interest in the modulating signal.

 Ink jet printing intensity modulation - Patent 4087825
To modulate the intensity, the print pulses 121 and 122 for paper "A" may be expanded as shown by print pulses 123 and 124 for paper "B," while the data frequency represented by the time period 127 and the print speed are both lowered proportionately as represented by the expanded cycle time 128.
To modulate the intensity, the drop and data frequencies, the print pulse width and the relative head-to-paper velocity are changed.
The intensity modulation therefore accomplishes the impacting of a greater number of drops and therefore a greater volume of ink per spot for the drop stream 148.

modulating the intensity of said beam at a known frequency to produce an alternating photocurrent output from the CIS system, the intensity and the frequency of modulation of said beam being such that the amplitude of said alternating photocurrent output is approximately proportional to the intensity of said beam,
The measured current may be an alternating photocurrent produced by the additional step of modulating the intensity of the beam; in this case, either the amplitude or the phase (with respect to light intensity modulation) of the induced alternating photocurrent may be measured, as a function of the applied bias potential.
Modulating the intensity of the probing radiation produces a time-varying concentration of mobile electron-hole pairs within the semiconductor, thereby producing the desired alternating photocurrent which may be measured in a capacitively coupled circuit, such as within a CIS semiconductor device.

An arrangement for the wavelength-selective internal intensity modulation and radiation pulse generation of high power CO.sub.2 lasers, in a high-power CO.sub.2 laser is forced to operate in the resonator at a freely selectable but fixed wavelength by means of a frequency-selective element and highly angle-selective gas discharge tubes.

In particular, for such a modulation and generation of radiation pulses, possibilities are required for external triggering in the sense of freely selectable parameters especially for the pulse peak power or pulse duration and the pulse repetition rate up to aperiodic pulse repetition, a simultaneous wavelength selection being desirable or absolutely essential in numerous applications.

 News Release 060929a
The Mach-Zehnder interference type, lithium niobate (LN) modulator has been used as a binary intensity or phase modulator in high-speed transmitters, but there is a trade-off between driving voltage and bandwidth and it was considered to be virtually impossible to raise the operation speed to at least 100 Gbps.
While the conventional binary intensity modulation format uses a photodiode in the receiver, the DQPSK receiver needs a pair of balanced photodetectors, usually realized by integrating two high-speed photodiodes, making it difficult to achieve high-speed operation, high sensitivity, and uniform conversion efficiency, simultaneously.
Modulation format in which CSRZ pulse modulation is added to differential quadrature phase modulation; it is appropriate for high-density WDM long-distance transmission.
