Development of a stable electro-optical modulator

Abstract

The electrical/optical characteristics of longitudinal KD*P (KD2PO4) modulators were studied to determine what physical construction would be best for use in the MSFC (Marshall Space Flight Center) vector magnetograph. Obtaining high quality KD*P modulators that could withstand the DC modulation requirement of the MSFC vector magnetograph has, in the past, been at best a game of chance. A study is summarized which investigated problems that were seen in these devices and the conclusions that were reached are presented.
