  • Abstract
    This paper treats the modulation of light by means of electro-optic modulators and the detection and analysis of the modulation by means of photocell detectors. The problem of electro-optic modulators is formulated in terms of the anisotropic materials used to create the modulation effects. This formulation is used to derive the harmonic structure for a variety of electro-optic modulators. Comparisons are then made between the frequency and power responses of the various modulators.
