Title :
Laser modulation: Minimizing harmonic distortion with multiple crystals
Abstract :
The use of several electrooptic crystals provides a means of improving modulation depth for a given modulating voltage. An improvement in modulation linearity can also be achieved if a separate analyzer assembly is used with each crystal.
