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...

Nonmechanical beam deflectors, particularly acousto-optical and electro-optical deflectors, are being considered for the access and tracking functions of a magneto-optic recording head. In this report, the suitability of electro-optic deflectors for these functions is explored. For applications requiring modest deflection, electro.optic deflectors require less power and exhibit higher optical t...

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

Background: Sachse cold knife is conventionally used for optical internal urethrotomy to manage urethral strictures. In this procedure, the complications and recurrence rates are relatively high. We suggest combined electro cutter and cold knife as a success alternative in the management of intractable anterior urethral strictures. Methods: In this prospective...

This study introduces a reversible optical fulladder. Also optical NOT and NOR gates are implemented through Electro-Absorption-Modulator / Photo Detector (EAM/PD) pairs, were utilized for fulfilling reversible R gate. Then, reversible fulladder was designed based on the proposed reversible optical R gate. The operation of the suggested fulladder was simulated using Optispice and it was fou...

Electro- and magneto-optical phenomena play key roles in photonic technology enabling light modulators, optical data storage, sensors and numerous spectroscopic techniques. Optical effects, linear and quadratic in external electric and magnetic field are widely known and comprehensively studied. However, optical phenomena that depend on the simultaneous application of external electric and magn...
