Fabrication of piezoelectric actuator for photoelastic modulator based on lithium niobate
) is used as the piezoelectric actuator of a photoelastic modulator(PEM)
it has shortcomings of smaller electromechanical coupling coefficient
high driving voltage required
and serious frequency drifting with a temperature. Therefore
this paper designs an optimized PEM. In consideration of the special crystal structure of lithium niobate (LiNbO
3
)
the feasibility of LiNbO
3
crystal to be a piezoelectric actuator was verified and its cut shape was set as
zyw
/35°cut. Based on the finite element analysis software COMSOL4.3a simulation
the chip size and the resonant frequency were determined. Then
a LiNbO
3
piezoelectric actuator was designed. The piezoelectric performance of the piezoelectric actuator was tested and compared with SiO
2
piezoelectric actuator. Finally the LiNbO
3
piezoelectric actuator was combined with a ZnSe crystal to construct a PEM
and it was performed a photoelastic experiment by a 671 nm laser. The experiment for achieving the same displacement show that the drive voltage for the SiO
2
based piezoelectric actuator is 100 times that of LiNbO
3
based piezoelectric actuator
and the unity and stability of lateral length stretching vibration mode for the latter is better than that for the former. Moreover
when the drive voltage is 3.76 V
the optical path difference of 671 nm laser will be modulated to 3.7 μm through the LiNbO
3
piezoelectric actuator based PEM. These results demonstrate that proposed LiNbO
3
piezoelectric actuator based PEM is easy to drive and control and the modulation performance is better than that of previous PEMs.
