The electrooptic and piezoelectric coupling effects in tetragonal relaxor-based ferroelectric 0.62Pb(MgNb)O-0.38PbTiO (PMN-0.38PT) and 0.88Pb(ZnNb)O-0.12PbTiO (PZN-0.12PT) single-domain crystals have been analyzed by the coordinate transformation. The orientation dependence of the electrooptic and half-wave voltage was calculated based on the full sets of refractive indices, electrooptic and piezoelectric coefficients. The optimum orientation cuts for achieving the best electrooptic coefficient and half-wave voltage were found. The lowset half-wave voltage is only 76 V for the PMN-0.38PT single-domain crystal. Compared to commonly used electrooptic crystal LiNbO, tetragonal relaxor-PT ferroelectric single-domain crystals are much superior for optical modulation applications because of their much higher linear electrooptic coefficients and substantially lower half-wave voltages when the piezoelectric strain influence is considered.
通过坐标变换分析了四方弛豫铁电体0.62Pb(MgNb)O-0.38PbTiO(PMN-0.38PT)和0.88Pb(ZnNb)O-0.12PbTiO(PZN-0.12PT)单畴晶体中的电光和压电耦合效应。基于完整的折射率、电光和压电系数集,计算了电光和半波电压的取向依赖性。找到了实现最佳电光系数和半波电压的最佳取向切割。对于PMN-0.38PT单畴晶体,最低半波电压仅为76V。与常用的电光晶体LiNbO相比,四方弛豫铁电体-PT单畴晶体在光调制应用中具有更大优势,因为考虑到压电应变影响时,它们具有更高的线性电光系数和更低的半波电压。
