Abstract

Quadratic lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) is a material demonstrating a strong quadratic electro-optic effect. Both sides of the PLZT wafer were used so that the electro-optic interaction length was equal to the thickness of the PLZT substrate. On-substrate resistive networks were fabricated by evaporating chromium, a less conductive metal, in order to produce the required voltage distribution among the electrodes. The device is polarization insensitive because it takes advantage of the longitudinal electric field. The device yielded a measured steering angle of .04°. This paper describes the design, fabrication, and experimental results of a PLZT based electro-optic beam steering device.
