Qubig DC Coupled Electro Optic Phase Shifter

Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) are an easy to use and efficient tool to externally modify the phase, frequency, polarization, or amplitude of a free-space laser.

In contrast to acousto-optic modulators, the spatial mode of the laser beam remains unaltered. So EOMs are an ideal choice when several frequency components are required in the laser spectrum. For instance in repumper frequency generation in laser cooling and quantum optics, spectral broadening to minimize stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in high power fibers, and for frequency modulation (FM) techniques, like FM Spectroscopy, Modulation Transfer Spectroscopy or Pound-Drever Hall (PDH) Laser Frequency Stabilization. The modulation spectrum of Qubig’s electro-optic modulators ranges from DC-coupled phase shifters to high-Q, resonant EOMs in the MHz to GHz.

Qubig’s DC-coupled electro-optic phase shifter has a usable bandwidth DC of 250MHz with a capacitive load of ~ 10 pF. It also includes floating electrodes for differential voltages and 2x SMA connectors (<500V) or HV feed-throughs with flying leads (< 5kV). The electro-optic phase shifter also comes with a number of options such as temperature control, fiber coupling, wedged facets, Brewster angles, amplitude modulator, and polarization modulator.
