Abstract:
An investigation is made of the hf distributed magnetooptic interaction in fiber waveguides associated with the Faraday effect observed under the conditions of both spatial and temporal phase matching between the normal modes of the waveguide and an external magentic field. Analytic expressions are obtained for the main relationships governing modulation of the state of polarization of light in a long fiber waveguide at high and ultrahigh frequencies. An analysis is made of several variants of hf magnetooptic modulators. It is shown that in the specific case when a 10-m long quartz fiber waveguide wound to form a cylindrical coil is placed inside the cavity of a coaxial microwave resonator and the microwave control power is 10 W, the efficiency of modulation of light should be 50%. The main theoretical predictions were supported by the reported experiments. These experiments showed that at a frequency of 80 MHz the modulation efficiency was 1% when the control power was 0.5 W.
