    Abstract: Acoustical ringing which results from piezoelectric effects in an electrooptical modulator is suppressed by mounting the modulator crystal between massive, acoustically absorbent, support members which also provide an electric circuit interface for applying electric signals to the modulator. Solder provides such an absorbent mounting for a lithium tantalate electrooptical modulator crystal. Both solder support members are flowed into place during the same heating interval and permitted to cool simultaneously.

    Abstract: A Gunn effect device is utilized to provide pulses of the high amplitude and frequency needed to drive an optical modulator, such as a lithium tantalate crystal for efficiently utilizing the bandwidth of light transmitted through the modulator. An acoustically absorbent mounting is provided for the modulator to suppress acoustical ringing resulting from piezoelectric effects in the modulator. The modulation system is initially aligned by simulating at a comparatively low frequency the drive amplitudes in order to establish a maximum condition of modulation in the optical part of the system. Thereafter, signals at the Gunn effect device output rate are supplied for controlling the modulator. Information-representative signals coupled to the modulator through the Gunn effect device are synchronized with the optical system utilizing the modulator.
