Abstract

Modulators with a large instantaneous microwave bandwidth and high efficiency were developed for imposing frequency chirped waveforms on a high power CO2 laser output. These modulators may be cascaded to increase bandwidth and to increase efficiency. Details of the construction, together with the results, are presented.
