Lecture

Electro-Optic Modulators: Principles and Applications

Description

This lecture covers the principles and applications of electro-optic modulators, focusing on the Pockels effect and its use in modulating light beams. The instructor explains the electro-optic coefficients, Pockels cells, and the construction of transversal and integrated modulators. The lecture also delves into intensity modulators, interference phenomena, and the operation of Mach Zehnder intensity modulators. Practical aspects such as the half-wave voltage, transit time limitations, and the characteristics of MZI modulators are discussed, highlighting their typical specifications and applications in optical communication systems.
