Integrated-optic devices for use in high-voltage substations are reviewed. Specifically, two types of integrated-optic Mach-Zehnder and the integrated-optic Pockels cell are described and compared. A system for monitoring the condition offluid-and-paper insulation systems, such as are used in many current transformers and power transformer bushings, is also described. This condition monitoring ...

We propose a theoretical model to describe the strain-induced linear electro-optic (Pockels) effect in centro-symmetric crystals. The general formulation is presented and the specific case of the strained silicon is investigated in detail because of its attractive properties for integrated optics. The outcome of this analysis is a linear relation between the second order susceptibility tensor a...

High-energy and repetition-rate laser systems under development for studying of inertial fusion energy (IFE) and high energy intensity physics use a multi-pass amplifier architecture to reduce costs and physical size of the facility. In these amplifier systems, the combination of repetition-rate Pockels cell and a thin-film polarizer forms an optical switch, which is key to suppress selfoscilla...

CdZnTe has previously been shown to operate as an electro-optic radiation detector by utilizing the Pockels effect to measure steady-state nuclear reactor power levels. In the present work, the detector response to reactor power excursion experiments was investigated. Peak power levels during an excursion were predicted to be between 965 MW and 1009 MW using the Fuchs–Nordheim and Fuchs– Hansen...

The law of angular momentum conservation is naturally linked to the rotational symmetry of the involved system. Here we demonstrate theoretically how to break the rotational symmetry of a uniaxial crystal via the electro-optic Pockels effect. By numerical method based on asymptotic expansion, we discover the 3D structure of polarization singularities in terms of C lines and L surfaces embedded ...

he main objective of this paper is to present a detailed study concerning the modeling of passive optical devices, controlled by the linear electro-optic Pockels effect [1]-[8], particularly the Mach-Zehnder devices. First it is studied the anisotropic media in general where is deduced the electro-optic tensor and the appropriate indexes ellipsoid expressions to a crystal such as lithium niobat...

We study the conditions for soliton-like wave propagation in the Photorefractive (PR) and electro-optic (i.e., Pockels) material, by using Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. The complete NLS equation is solved analytically and numerically by transforming it into the phase space. Our results clearly show the existence of both the dark and bright solitary solutions for the PR medium. Interesti...
