Optical component () for modulating light field () incident thereon, particularly amplitude and/or phase in dependency on intensity (I) thereof, includes stack () of refractive layers () on substrate (), made of materials having third-order nonlinearity, and having alternatingly varying refractive indices (n), including linear contribution (n) and non-linear contribution (n), and determining reflectance and transmittance spectra of the optical component, wherein refractive layers () are configured such that reflectance and transmittance of the optical component have a Kerr effect based dependency on intensity (I) of the incident light field with n=n+I&#xb7;n, and refractive layers () are made of at least one of dielectric and semiconductor layers, wherein non-linear contribution (n) is below 10cm/W. A resonator device including the optical component, a method of modulating a light field using the optical component and a method of manufacturing the optical component are described.
