Abstract

Tunable harmonic intensities based on an elector-absorption modulator (EAM) are presented. The configuration is based on a Sagnac loop interferometer containing an elector-absorption modulator (EAM). Signal responses are obtained by modulating the clockwise and counterclockwise propagating waves inside the Sagnac loop. Measured results verify the theoretical expressions and demonstrate continuously tunable ability of amplitude for fundamental and harmonic terms. Frequency doubled and tripled electrical signals are also demonstrated.
