Abstract :
A type of single sideband electrooptic modulator with the active electrooptic crystal surrounded by a ferrite tuning element and placed inside a square waveguide is described. Frequency tunability as a function of waveguide dimension and the choice of modulation frequency and optical wavelength are presented
