Abstract:
This article analyses the temporal evolution and the spectral structure of the state of polarization of the light modulated by longitudinal electrooptic effect in crystal of class 42m (KDP type), in terms of observable quantities - Stokes parameters. The temporal evolution and the spectral structure of the Stokes vector of the light modulated is analyzed for an arbitrary d.c. bias voltage. Two cases important in applications – no d.c. bias voltage and quarter wave bias voltage are particularized and experimentally illustrated.
