Pyro-electro-optic phase gratings.
A new physical mechanism is proposed for generating transient phase gratings in transparent pyroelectric materials. The mechanism combines the pyroelectric and electro-optic effects to convert spatial intensity variations into transient phase gratings. The grating diffraction efficiency increases with a figure of merit that is proportional to the pyroelectric, electro-optic, and absorption coef...
متن کاملHemicylindrical and toroidal liquid microlens formed by pyro-electro-wetting.
We found that by opportune functionalization of a polar dielectric substrate, a self-arrangement of hemicylindrical or toroidal-shaped liquid droplets can be obtained. The process takes place when a thermal stimulus is provided to a poled substrate whose surface is covered by an oily substance layer. Liquid droplet self-arrangement is due to the pyroelectric effect, and interferometric characte...
متن کاملNoiseless phase quadrature amplification via electro-optic feed-forward
The transmission of small optical signals carried by coherent light is fraught with difficulty. Attenuation of the optical power causes degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio as the signal recedes into the quantum noise of the beam. A simple method to rectify this problem would be to amplify the signal. However this is not a trivial exercise as phase insensitive amplifiers, such as laser ampl...
متن کاملElectro-optic phase modulator as a starting mechanism in Ti:sapphire.
An electro-optic phase modulator in a regenerative mode-locker configuration is demonstrated as the starting mechanism for a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Mode locking is initiated automatically, and the system is capable of pulses as short as 21 fs.
متن کاملModeling and optimization of electro - optic phase modulator
We introduce a novel method of modeling PLZT phase modulators. Traditionally, modeling has been based upon fitting the constant quadratic electro-optic coefficient to empirical data. Our characterization has shown that the electro-optic coefficient is not a constant and that the electro-optic effect saturates at electric field strengths that exist in standard surface electrode device configurat...
