<p>An electro-optic sampler comprises a body of semiconductor material that can be energized to emit polarized light, a photodetector device for generating an electrical output signal representative of the intensity with which light polarized in a predetermined manner is incident on the photodetector device, and a body of electro-optic material defining an optical waveguide for transmitting light from the source of polarized light to the photodetector. First and second electrodes are provided for establishing an electrical field within the body of electro-optic material. The body of electro-optic material has a spherical index ellipsoid when the first and second electrodes are at the same potential and other-wise has a non-spherical index ellipsoid.</p> |
