Birefringence-free photoelastic modulator with centimeter-square aperture operating at 2.7 MHz with sub-watt drive power
Okan Atalar, Amin Arbabian
Photoelastic modulators are optical devices with a broad range of applications. These devices typically utilize a transverse interaction mechanism between acoustic and optical wave…
Polarization-insensitive wide-angle resonant acousto-optic phase modulator
Okan Atalar, Amin Arbabian
Phase modulators are commonly used devices in optics. Free-space phase modulators are typically constructed from optically anisotropic crystals exhibiting the Pockels effect. To pr…
Optically isotropic longitudinal piezoelectric resonant photoelastic modulator for wide angle polarization modulation at megahertz frequencies
Okan Atalar, Amin Arbabian
Polarization modulators have a broad range of applications in optics. The acceptance angle of a free-space polarization modulator is crucial for many applications. Polarization mod…
Y-Z cut lithium niobate longitudinal piezoelectric resonant photoelastic modulator
Okan Atalar, Steven Yee, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini +1
The capability to modulate the intensity of an optical beam has scientific and practical significance. In this work, we demonstrate Y-Z cut lithium niobate acousto-optic modulators…
Longitudinal piezoelectric resonant photoelastic modulator for efficient intensity modulation at megahertz frequencies
Okan Atalar, Raphaël Van Laer, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini +1
