Extract

Electro-optic devices such as fast (>20 GHz) modulators are one application of ferroelectric-oxide thin-film waveguides. A compact, blue laser source of a few milliwatts power capable of lasting thousands of hours is of great interest as applied to optical data storage and xerography. Ferroelectric-oxide thin films offer several potential advantages over bulk materials for optical waveguides, though no electroceramic thin-film devices have replaced bulk devices yet. Bulk waveguides are defined by ion exchange, which produces only a small index difference. Thin films therefore permit higher intensity per unit power in the guide, and hence larger nonlinear effects and shorter interaction lengths.
