专利汇可以提供Electro-optic variable phase diffraction grating and modulator专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An electro-optic variable phase diffraction device is described for varying a phase diffraction grating and modulating an optical wave. A layer of electro-optic material whose index of refraction may be varied with an electric field is placed in interacting relationship with an optical wave passing through a thin-film optical waveguide. An array of parallel spaced electrodes whose widths are substantially more narrow than the width of the optical wave are so located over the optical waveguide to form longitudinal segments in the electro-optical material for interaction with different adjacent components of the optical wave. A controlled electrical energization of the electrodes causes a corresponding change of refractive index of underlying interacting segments to form a diffracted output optical wave whose intensity is modulated in correspondence with the electrical energization. Various embodiments and methods of modulation are described.,下面是Electro-optic variable phase diffraction grating and modulator专利的具体信息内容。

1. A variable electro-optic phase diffraction grating modulator comprising a thin-film optical waveguide sized to propagate an optical wave of predetermined width along a preselected direction; a layer of electro-optic material placed in proximity to the thin-film optical waveguide for interaction with the optical wave propagating therein; an array of generally parallel spaced longitudinal electrodes located to control the index of refraction of the electro-optic material which interacts with the optical wave upon the electrical excitement of the electrodes, each of said electrodes having a width dimension which is smaller than the width of the optical wave, with the spacings between electrodes being selected to control the index of refraction of individual segments of the electro-optic material in interaction with the optical wave, selected electrodes being electrically connected to each other to form sets with the electrodes in the sets being interleaved to form pairs of electrodes with adjacent electrodes of different sets; and means for electrically exciting pairs of electrodes with different electrical signals to induce correspondingly different indices of refraction in the electro-optic material segments and form a diffracted modulated optical output wave along a desired angle with a modulation component related to said electrical signals, said means further producing a plurality of phase related signals connected to respective sets of electrodes to form an apparently moving diffraction grating.
2. The modulator as claimed in claim 1 wherein said phase related signals are applied to electrodes in the sets to form pairs of adjacent electrodes carrying signals which differ in phase by 90* in a polyphase sequence selected to modulate the diffracted optical output wave in a single side band suppressed carrier manner.
