Complete electro-optic formalism using the nonlinear optical wave equation description and some resultant new device approaches

Summary form only given. The existing descriptions of the electro-optic effect within electro-optic modulators have been updated and unified for the first time to the authors´ knowledge. The more exact formulation is the basis of new research directions for modulators within the group. Here, the Jacobi Anger expression that arises out of tone modulation of an electro-optic device is a successful model which is derived assuming sinusoidal phase modulation of a lossless and phase matched modulator.
