Complete electro-optic formalism using the nonlinear optical wave equation description and some resultant new device approaches

Summary form only given. The existing descriptions of the electro-optic effect within electro-optic modulators have been updated and unified for the first time to the authors' knowledge. The more exact formulation is the basis of new research directions for modulators within the group. Here, the Jacobi Anger expression that arises out of tone modulation of an electro-optic device is a successful model which is derived assuming sinusoidal phase modulation of a lossless and phase matched modulator.
