Abstract :
Low-frequency electrooptic coefficients have been measured for three semiconductors at 10.5 microns. The results are r_{c} = (5.5 \\pm 1) \\times 10^{-12} m/V for CdS, r_{41} = (1.4 \\pm 0.2) \\times 10^{-12} m/V for ZnTe, and r_{41} = (1.6 \\pm 0.1) \\times 10^{-12} 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.
