Abstract
The use of electro-optic deflectors in high speed scanning systems is common place. Although suggested more than a decade ago, their use as active Q-switches has not previously been demonstrated [1], Two forms of deflector exist: one based on a prism of active material whose refractive angle varies with refractive index, and the other on shaped deflectors which give a linear refractive index gradient across the beam path [2].
