The invention relates to a method and a device for light modulation, wherein the intensity of light can be altered by means of electrically chargeable or charged particles (5). The aim of the invention is to obtain light modulation in an economical, fast and reliably reproducible manner. According to the invention, a gas or vacuum is provided wherein the particles (5) can be displaced; a granular gas (6) is produced using said gas or vacuum between at least two electrodes (1, 2) in such a manner that electrically charged particles (5) in the electric field between the electrodes (1, 2) can be moved backwards and forth and the light which is to be modulated is guided through the granular gas (6) between the electrodes (1, 2).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de modulation de la lumière, permettant de faire varier l'intensité de la lumière au moyen de particules (5) chargées ou pouvant être chargées électriquement. L'objectif de l'invention est de permettre d'obtenir facilement une modulation de la lumière rapide et reproductible de manière fiable. A cet effet, on utilise un gaz ou un vide, dans lequel lesdites particules (5) peuvent se déplacer ; de plus, un gaz granulaire (6) est produit au moyen du gaz ou du vide entre au moins deux électrodes (1, 2) de sorte que, en raison d'une tension variable dans le temps, appliquée aux électrodes (1, 2), les particules (5) chargées électriquement, présentes dans le champ électrique régnant entre les électrodes, sont soumises à un mouvement de va-et-vient, et la lumière à moduler est guidée à travers le gaz granulaire (6) entre les électrodes (1, 2).
