            Abstract : 
Low-frequency electrooptic coefficients have been measured for three semiconductors at 10.5 microns. The results are 

 m/V for CdS, 

 m/V for ZnTe, and 

 m/V for GaAs. A comparison is made of the efficiencies of these materials in different modulator configurations. The effect of photoelectrically induced space charge is discussed briefly.
