Low Halfwave Voltage Electrooptic Polymer Modulator Technology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
The recent development in nonlinear optical polymer materials and device fabrication technologies has resulted in a significantly reduced halfwave voltage for high-speed optical communications. In this paper, optical push-pull and active cladding approaches are discussed for low halfwave voltage electrooptic polymer modulator design and fabrication. Based on these new designs, experimental polymer modulators were fabricated and a halfwave voltage-interaction length product of 2.2 V-cm was achieved using optical push-pull and a highly active electrooptic polymer system.
