Abstract
Analysis of electrooptic modulators of the light strength working with divergent light beam is performed numerically employing the Jones matrices method. The approach allows to consider small inaccuracies in cutting and alignment of electrooptic crystal and the divergence of entering light beam. The results show that the divergence typical for gas lasers should not affect significantly the work of electrooptic modulators even for large electrooptic crystals, while diode lasers may be used with modulators only in the form of precise modules equipped with colimation optics.
