Longitudinal piezoelectric resonant photoelastic modulator for efficient intensity modulation at megahertz frequencies
Optical intensity modulators are an important component in optics. Here, the authors demonstrate a type of resonant intensity modulator operating in the megahertz frequency regime with record high efficiency and use it for time-of-flight imaging.
