ABSTRACT:
A crystal exhibiting a variable index of refraction in response to a voltage applied across it is driven from a lower voltage signal generator through a passive resonant circuit. The resonant frequency of the circuit is tunable by hand in order to maximize the voltage applied to the crystal from a low voltage signal generator. The impedance of the circuit is also hand adjustable in order to match that of the signal generator. The crystal and driving circuit are packaged together in a single enclosure having optically transparent windows allowing a laser beam to pass through the crystal and be modulated by it according to the frequency of the signal generator.
