Abstract

The results of calculations of main parameters of a slot-type electrodynamic system taking into account losses in a single-mode nonresonance regime of excitation and in the regime of responance excitation in the vicinity of the cutoff frequency are presented. Analytic expressions obtained for the transmission coefficient, resonance frequency, and transmission band can be used in designing wide-band optical modulators. Experimental verification of laboratory prototypes of electrodynamic systems and their application in available modulators confirms the possibility of employment of such analysis for choosing optimal designs of ultrahigh-frequency modulators of optical radiation.
