Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electro-optic modulation, and particularly relates to a method for quickly and accurately selecting an optimal modulation point of crystal electro-optic modulation.
Background
The electro-optic crystal is a key component element of an electro-optic modulation system, realizes the regulation and control of output signals by adding alternating current and direct current signals at two ends of the crystal to light, aims to generate large output signals through small modulation signals, and is widely applied in the fields of high-speed optical communication, high-speed optical deflection and the like. In the prior art, the electro-optic modulation usually selects the median point of half-wave voltage of a crystal as the electro-optic modulation point, and the electro-optic modulation is realized by DC bias to the electro-optic modulation point and then applying an AC modulation signal, but the relaxation characteristic causes dynamic response of the dielectric constant of part of the crystal under the action of an electric field, which causes the deviation of the median point of half-wave voltage compared with the static dielectric constant, and then the electro-optic modulation according to the method causes the weakening of modulation performance and the increase of power consumption. In recent years, as the preparation process of novel crystal materials is mature, crystals with large size and good optical quality are gradually introduced, and the crystal electro-optic modulation has a wide application prospect in the fields of free space optical communication and laser three-dimensional imaging. In free-space optical communication and laser three-dimensional imaging, the power consumption of an electro-optical modulator is directly related to the load of the system, and the modulation voltage becomes an important factor for limiting the application and development of the electro-optical modulator. Therefore, the research on the optimal modulation point of the crystal electro-optic modulation has very important practical significance and application value by applying a small modulation voltage to realize a large modulation amplitude.
