Proposal for electro-optic multiplier based on dual transverse electro-optic Kerr effect

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A novel electro-optic multiplier is proposed, which can perform voltage multiplication operation by use of the Kerr medium exhibiting dual transverse electro-optic Kerr effect. In this kind of Kerr medium, electro-optic phase retardation is proportional to the square of its applied electric field, and orientations of the field-induced birefringent axes are only related to the direction of the field. Based on this effect, we can design an electro-optic multiplier by selecting the crystals of 6/mmm, 432, and m3m classes and isotropic Kerr media such as glass. Simple calculation demonstrates that a kind of glass–ceramic material with a large Kerr constant can be used for the design of the proposed electro-optic multiplier.
