Tunable Electro-Optic Modulators for Laser Radar Applications-ExperimentalResults

摘要

A tunable electro-optic single sideband modulator having a configurationconsisting of a CdTe crystal surrounded by a ferrite placed inside a microwave waveguide can be used as a laser local oscillator to track the target translational Doppler frequency in a C02 laser radar return. Results on measurements to determine the phase velocity matched bandwidth for the above composite modulator configuration are reported. CdTe crystal, doppler frequency, electro-optic.
