The aim of this work is to present the application of photoconductive properties of electro-optical n-doped CdTe:In single crystals to all-optical processing of signals at λ=1550 nm. The mechanism exploits the photogeneration of charge carriers from deep intragap energy levels and their trap-limited drift process under the action of an externally applied cw electric field. An internal space-charge counterfield results that locally shields the electro-optic effect.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present the application of photoconductive properties of electro-optical n-doped CdTe:In single crystals to all-optical processing of signals at λ=1550 nm. The mechanism exploits the photogeneration of charge carriers from deep intragap energy levels and their trap-limited drift process under the action of an externally applied cw electric field. An internal space-charge counterfield results that locally shields the electro-optic effect.
