Abstract:In this work we report on numerical investigations of the effect of the light beam divergence or imperfect crystal alignment on the response of electrooptic modulators. Resulting nonlinearities are discussed both in terms of nonlinear distorsions of modulators and as related to errors in measurements of quadratic electrooptic coefficients. Our calculations based on the Jones calculus have been performed for uniaxial crystals including KDP, and its isomorphs, and LiNbO 3 . The results obtained confirm that eith… Show more
