The electro-optic effect: the most potent optical effect ever?
Tom Ako
Electro-optics is the technology that uses electrical signals to control optical properties. It is one of the most useful areas of photonics.
In this article, you will learn about why electro-optics is important as well as how it is used in various photonic applications.
Why are electro-optic effects so important?
Electricity and electronics absolutely dominate technology as we know it today.
Several optical materials are passive – they have fixed optical properties e.g. absorption, refractive..
