Abstract

Abstract

Polarization modulation technology based on electro-optic crystals is playing an increasingly important role in the field of three-dimensional laser imaging. Due to the low field of view and high half-wave voltage of LiNiO ₃(LN) materials, it is difficult for traditional electro-optic modulation technology to further improve 3D imaging performance. As the preparation technology of perovskite-structured electro-optical materials becomes more mature, electro-optic modulation technology based on new materials will become an excellent means to create a breakthrough in the detection accuracy of laser 3D imaging. PMNT, PLZT and KTa _xNb _1-xO ₃(KTN) three typical materials have excellent electro-optical properties and dielectric properties that might surpass the field of view and half-wave voltage limitation. However, their applications in electro-optic modulation has lead to difficulties such as a low modulation bandwidth for PMNT, poor transmission performance for PLZT, and low practical application bandwidth for KTN. Future research will focus on the practicality of this modulation technology. The electro-optic modulation performance can be improved by doping and the signal-to-noise ratio of the system can be optimized by establishing performance characterization models.
