Key Points

Investigate the modulation of light transmission utilizing the linear electro-optic effect in reverse-biased gallium phosphide (GaP) p-n junctions.
Fabricated p-n junction diodes in gallium phosphide single crystals.
Applied reverse-bias voltages across the junctions to establish high electric fields.
Measured polarization and phase modulation of light transmitted through the junction depletion layer.
Demonstrated measurable light modulation driven by the electro-optic effect within the junction depletion region.
Confirmed that the strong electric fields sustained under reverse bias alter the refractive index sufficiently for optical signal control.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates light modulation via the electro-optic effect in reverse-biased GaP p-n junctions, highlighting potential for solid-state photonic devices.
