Electro-optic effect in zincblende crystals.

Femtosecond electro-optic effect in (Cd,Mn)Te single crystals

We present our studies on the femtosecond electro-optic (EO) effect in high quality Cd0.88Mn0.12Te (CMT) single crystals, grown using a modified vertical Bridgman method. Our time-resolved experiments were performed using a coplanar transmission line setup, which incorporated a free-standing, low-temperature-grown GaAs photoconductive switch as a subpicosecond electrical pulse generator and the...

Electro-optic Properties of Semiconductor Nano-crystals And Electro-optic Polymers And Their Applications

Temporally resolved electro-optic effect.

The electro-optic effect between an ultrafast optical probe pulse and an ultrashort terahertz pulse is shown to depend on the time derivatives of the product of the probe and terahertz electric fields. Application of this theory to temporally resolved single-shot terahertz detection techniques, where the electro-optic effect is temporally localized within an optical probe pulse, shows that the ...
