Abstract
A phase-matched resonant waveguide modulator suitable for very high frequency modulation and applications such as FM laser spectroscopy is described. The width of a crystal modulator section of the waveguide is chosen so that the operating frequency is just above cut-off to achieve optical and RF phase velocity matching at high frequencies such as 10 GHz by virtue of the dispersion of the waveguide near cut-off. The waveguide contains air in opposite end sections so that those sections are below cut-off and the microwave is evanescent, with the result that the end sections preferably are open for ease of optical coupling to the waveguide.
