Integrated high-power electro-optic lens and large-angle deflector.

چکیده
We present a theoretical discussion and experimental demonstration of what to our knowledge is a novel integrated electro-optic lens and beam deflector fabricated in lithium tantalate. The cylindrical lens collimates Gaussian beams as small as 4 mum in diameter, whereas the independently controlled deflector is capable of scanning the collimated beam through an angular range of nearly 20 degrees .

Fabrication and characterization of high-speed integrated electro-optic lens and scanner devices
We demonstrate two high-speed electro-optic devices: an integrated lens/scanner and a variable radius collimating lens stack fabricated on a single crystal of Z-cut LiTaO3. The lens and scanner components consist of lithographically defmed domain-inverted regions extending through the thickness of the crystal. A lens power of 0.233 cm'kV', a deflection angle of 12.68 mrad kV', and a scan rate o...
متن کاملIntegrated High Power Electro-Optic Lens/Scanner for Spaced-Based Platforms
Dynamic scanning and focusing of a laser beam using a robust integrated solid state platform is desirable for many spacebased applications including free-space optical communications, target tracking, and optical data storage/processing. Electrooptic devices offer promise as an ideal platform for such applications. However, the relatively low focal powers and scan angles of existing electro-opt...
متن کاملThree order increase in scanning speed of space charge-controlled KTN deflector by eliminating electric field induced phase transition in nanodisordered KTN
In this paper, we report a three orders-of-magnitude increase in the speed of a space-charge-controlled KTN beam deflector achieved by eliminating the electric field-induced phase transition (EFIPT) in a nanodisordered KTN crystal. Previously, to maximize the electro-optic effect, a KTN beam deflector was operated at a temperature slightly above the Curie temperature. The electric field could c...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of optical beam deflection based on PLZT electro-optic ceramic.
Based on the optical characteristics of PLZT (Lead Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate) electro-optic ceramic, two kinds of electro-optical deflectors, triangular electrode structure and optical phased array technology, are studied in detail by using transverse electro-optic effect. Theoretically, the electro-optic deflection characteristics and mechanisms of the deflectors are analyzed; experimentall...
