Abstract:
The objective of this program is to develop an efficient and reliable ultra-wideband waveguide modulator for CO2 lasers that will be useful for high resolution imaging optical radars and high-data-rate optical communication systems. Efficiency and reliability can be obtained by using integrated optics technology, which is an optical analog of IC technology in electronics. The major advantage of this approach is derived primarily from the fact that strong and wideband interaction between the laser and the microwave electric field can be obtained within a thin waveguiding layer at a thickness of approximately one optical wavelength. However, the practically and applicability of this approach remained to be proven. Of most importance is the ability to demonstrate that the ultimate performance of an integrated-optic modulator can supersede that of the conventional bulk modulators.
