French term or phrase: dispositif semiconducteur intégré de modulation de lumière ultrarapide
The term is: Dispositif semiconducteur intégré de modulation de lumière ultrarapide à zone d'interaction confinée - Modulateur de porteuse optique par plasmon de surface à base de semiconducteurs. I know this is a long term, but it is one term and breaking it up into smaller sections would probably just complicate things. The term is taken from a funding application for a major French univeristy lab. The portion of the document that I am translating is a list of the partners involved in the project for which funding is being sought as well as a description of the types of activities and achievements associated with each of the partners. This section then, describes the various types of research activities and achievements associated with this particular lab. The full sentence is as follows:
Enfin, le labo XX a participé en 2008 au dépôt d’un brevet portant sur un "Dispositif semiconducteur intégré de modulation de lumière ultrarapide à zone d'interaction confinée - Modulateur de porteuse optique par plasmon de surface à base de semiconducteurs".

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

integrated semiconductor device for extra-high-speed light modulation
Explanation:
For 'rapide', in electronics we usually talk about 'fast' or 'high-speed'.

'High-speed modulation' sounds correct to my ears.

I think this 'dispositif intégré' is an 'integrated device', i.e. probably an integrated circuit-type component

agree  Tony M: My only quibble is that it sounds as if this is possibly an 'integrated s/c device' (I suppose some kind of IC), so I think that maybe the 'integrated' needs to be moved? And I can't help thinking we'd talk about 'fast' in this sort of context.
