Abstract

Several frequency shifters using electrooptic TE/TM conversion in LiNbO₃have already been described.¹⁻³They used classical orientations of the crystal, and, as the birefringence is large (~0.1), the optical bandwidth is small (~10 Å). The frequency shifting effect is obtained using a collinear interaction with a set of finger electrodes driven by a multiphase electrical signal to generate unidirectional index wave.
