    Abstract: A semiconductor device of the type which nucleates and propagates high intensity electric field domains in response to the application of an electric field across the device is illuminated at a part of the device where such domains are nucleated and with sufficient energy density to alter the phase relationship of the propagated domains with respect to the applied electric field. Such a device is employed for gating pulses of electromagnetic energy through an electro-optical modulator to an optical delay line for reentering digital information in the delay line as it is coupled from the output of such line.

    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.
