Abstract
We report an electro-optic Bragg modulator using a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. We measured a half-wave voltage of when transmitting a laser through a long, thick, period PPLN crystal at the Bragg angle. We also demonstrated a Q-switched laser using such a PPLN Bragg modulator as its Q-switch, producing , pulses at a repetition rate when pumped by a diode laser at .
