Abstract :
We demonstrated electro-optic polarization conversion type modulator for violet light using periodically poled MgO doped LiNbO3 for the first time. High-quality periodically poled structures with 3.6 μm period were obtained over 1.0 × 1.0 mm2 area. The modulation of violet light was accomplished, and the conversion efficiency of 78% was obtained.
