Low-Vπ electro-optic modulator with a high-μβ chromophore and a constant-bias field

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A low half-wave voltage Vπ of 1.57 V was obtained with a 2-cm-long birefringent polymer waveguide modulator at a wavelength of 1.3 µm by use of a modulator design with a constant-bias electric field and a high-µβ chromophore. The design allows the maximum achievable electro-optic coefficient of the material to be utilized. This electro-optic coefficient can be more than twice as high as the residue value that is used by conventional modulator designs, after fast partial relaxation following poling.
