Slot-electrode optical modulator using KTiOPO(4).
A slot-electrode optical modulator is introduced and demonstrated with KTP at 532 nm. A switching voltage of 45 V, risetime of 3.5 ns, and power capability of more than 7 Ware measured. DC modulation without application of DC voltage is discussed. Further optimization can reduce the switching voltage to 18 V.
