Abstract :
Low-frequency electrooptic coefficients have been measured for three semiconductors at 10.5 microns. The results are

m/V for CdS,

m/V for ZnTe, and

m/V for GaAs. A comparison is made of the efficiencies of these materials in different modulator configurations. The effect of photoelectrically induced space charge is discussed briefly.
