Abstract

The influence of converse piezoelectric effect on the electro-optic coefficient of single domain relaxor-based 0.93Pb(Zn_1/3Nb _2/3)O₃-0.07PbTiO₃ (PZN-0.07PT) has been quantified under ambient conditions. It was found that the large piezoelectric constants d₃₁ and d₃₃ have significant influence to the half-wave voltage of electro-optic modulators. For single domain PZN-0.07PT crystal, Vπ13T is reduced by a factor of 8 and Vπ13L can be decreased by more than an order of magnitude due to the large piezoelectric effect. Compared to commonly used electro-optic crystal LiNbO₃ and BaTiO₃, PZN-xPT single crystal is much superior for optic phase modulation applications because they have much higher linear electro-optic coefficients and much lower half-wave voltage when piezoelectric strain influence is considered.
