Intensity and Voltage Controlled Phase Switching of Light by Joint Effort of Kerr and Pockels Material

摘要

Propagation of light through a linear-electro optic Pockels material in presence of an external electric field generates a controlled phase shift within it. Similarly Kerr type of electro-optic material causes intensity dependent phase variation. These interesting phenomena of electro-optic material one used in optical communication. Our proposed idea is how one can easily control the phase of an outgoing light wave by controlling suitable biasing voltage as well as the intensity of the input light wave jointly.
