General Description
The Phase Modulators (EOPMs) offered by Photonics of Crystals (POC) are advanced devices leveraging the electro-optic effect to modulate the phase of light beams with high precision. These modulators are categorized into broadband and resonant types to cater to diverse operational requirements.
Broadband EOPMs operate with drive frequencies ranging from DC to 100 MHz, offering flexibility for dynamic applications. On the other hand, resonant EOPMs are engineered for single-frequency operation, significantly reducing drive voltage by utilizing resonant circuits or microwave cavities. This design achieves frequencies exceeding 500 MHz, with certain models operating in the GHz range for ultra-high-frequency applications.
These modulators are optimized to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal distortion, ensuring reliable performance for demanding applications such as laser frequency stabilization, quantum state control, and spectroscopy.
