TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of the linear electro-optic effect, including a qualitative description of its physical origins and examples for two of the most common classes of electrooptic materials (KDP and LiNbO3), is presented.
Abstract: This entry begins with a brief overview of the linear electro-optic effect, including a qualitative description of its physical origins and examples for two of the most common classes of electro-optic materials (KDP and LiNbO3). The basic principles and concepts central to the operation and design of electro-optic scanners, such as scanning sensitivity, resolvable spots, and pivot point will be reviewed. The primary design types that are covered are scanners with rectangular, trapezoidal, and horn-shaped geometries. Examples of the integration of domain-inverted scanners with other components are also described.
