Abstract :
A new type of hybrid electro-optical multivibrator is investigated. The operation principle is based on the finite delay time of the feedback circuit and the nonlinear characteristic of the light modulator. The system is analysed by a diagram technique and realised experimentally by using an integrated interferometer modulator.
