We propose an electron wave analog of the electro-optic light modulator. The current modulation in the proposed structure arises from spin precession due to the spin-orbit coupling in narrow-gap semiconductors, while magnetized contacts are used to preferentially inject and detect specific spin orientations. This structure may exhibit significant current modulation despite multiple modes, elevated temperatures, or a large applied bias.
