Abstract
For the first time, transients are measured for a bulk-optical Bragg-deflector based on an electrooptically (EO) induced grating in periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN). Optical pulse risetimes of 1.2 ns are reported with a first-order diffraction efficiency of 76% for circular Gaussian beams, The fast risetime is accounted for by a substantially suppressed elicitation of acoustic thickness modes and careful electrode design. For many applications, the device could replace both acoustooptical Bragg-deflectors and conventional EO amplitude modulators due to a fivefold reduction in risetime and fourfold reduction in drive power, respectively.
