Resolution Enhancement of KTa1-xNbxO3 Electro-Optic Deflector by Optical Beam Shaping

We enhance the resolution of a KTa1-xNbxO3 (KTN) deflector by shaping the optical beam. Controlling the beam size by placing a lens in front of the deflector is essential for the efficient utilization of the deflector aperture. The beam-shaping optics were developed based on beam propagation analysis by ray tracing. We demonstrated a 1.5-fold enhancement of the resolution at a repetition rate of 100 kHz.
