  • Abstract
    A gallium arsenide electro-optic modulator has been used for external modulation of the output of a CO2laser at 10.6 microns. Modulation depths of 70% have been obtained for a modulating signal of 1000 volts. Modulation frequencies of a few hundred megahertz should be possible based on experiments performod at shorter wavelengths. The effect of high laser output power on the modulator performance will be discussed.
