Optical activity (Pockels, SLM, acousto)

An active optical component is a device capable of modulating, generating, or amplifying light, playing a crucial role in optical communication systems and various optoelectronic applications. Unlike passive optical components (such as lenses or mirrors) that do not alter the fundamental properties of light, active components dynamically interact with light.

The Pockels effect is a linear modulation of a material’s refractive index in response to an applied electric field. This change in refractive index is proportional to the amplitude of the electric field, making it an electro-optic modulator.

When an acoustic wave (or ultrasonic wave) passes through a transparent medium, it creates a periodic modulation of the material’s refractive index. This modulation acts as a moving diffraction grating, forming what is known as an acousto-optic modulator (AOM).

A spatial light modulator (SLM) is a device that modifies the spatial properties of light on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Each pixel can be controlled individually to modulate the incident light in different ways.
