Abstract
A new planar electrooptic beam splitter with a pair of parallel electrodes is proposed and its characteristics are demonstrated on LiNbO3. At a voltage up to 80 V and a 9.5 μm electrode separation, the two output beams can be scanned over a total angle of 3° in the guide plane. The structure can also be applied to amplitude modulation, requiring 15 V for complete on-off modulation. The device permits convenient fabrication and has a potential to operate at high speeds.
