Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides an optical switch capable of functioning as an optical limiter, modulator, and dynamic attenuator utilizing a ferroelectric single crystal as the functional medium. The functionality is based upon a dynamic ferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition occurring in the single crystal which can be perturbed through a hysteretic transition from an opaque to transparent state through the application of a compressive stress, an electric field, or both to the crystal.
