Abstract
Acousto-optic modulators on optical fibres have been realized using a coating of zinc oxide. The phase shift response of the modulators is 0 .5 mrad V-1 from 10 MHz up to 10 MHz and as high as 0.3 rad V-1 on rad ial resonance modes of the fibre above 20 MHz. A phase-shift amplitude of pi/2 has been realized with 60 mW of driving power. (C) 1998 Elsev ier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
