Abstract:In this paper the effect of working temperature on the low frequency electro-optic characteristics of some II/VI crystals is studied. It is found that, by heating the modulators above 100 °C, it is possible to overcome the so called field shielding effect, i.e. the strong shielding of the externally applied electric field caused by a local field produced by photo-generated carriers. The presented measurements also show that previously suggested models for the mechanism responsible for the field effect are not … Show more
