Nanosecond response of bulk-optical Bragg-diffraction modulator based on periodically poled LiNbO<sub>3</sub>

For the first time transients are measured for a bulk-optical Bragg-diffraction modulator based on an electro-optically induced grating in periodically poled LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (PPLN). Optical pulse risetimes of 1.2 nsec are reported with a first order diffraction efficiency of 76 % for c...
