Transparent electrode for optical switch
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5032164
A transparent electrode assembly is described for applying an electric field through an electro-optic crystal comprising: a pair of regions of low pressure gas adjacent the crystal at opposing faces through which an optical beam is propagated through the crystal; means operatively connected to the regions of low pressure gas to ionize the gas to produce an optically transparent conducting plasma adjacent to the faces of the crystal; means operatively connected to the regions to apply an electrical potential across the pair of plasma regions.
