Polarization-Independent Electrooptic Modulators and Switches

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Fundamental research will be conducted on the process of optical modulation. Geometries in LiNbO3 (Lithium Niobate) which appear particularly favorable and new materials which could perform this important function with greater efficiency and less power will be investigated. A scheme which involves the interference of light beams directed along two separate paths is also investigated.
