Guiding Light in Electro-Optic Polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
Electro-optic polymers have unique photonic, electro-optic and mechanical properties that make them attractive to use in a wide range of devices starting from ultra-high bandwidth light modulators for optical communications to miniature low power components for on-chip optical interconnects. The main building blocks of those devices are optical waveguides, that due to versatility of the polymers can be fabricated as either traditional multi-layer polymer structures, silicon nano-slots filled with the polymer, or dynamically created waveguides based on field-induced guiding. In this paper we cover various types of waveguides and analyze their optimum designs depending on application.

Simulation and Design of an Organic Quantum Film Electrooptic Switch
In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

متن کاملPhotodefinition of channel waveguide in electro-optic polymer
Polymers with optically active nonlinear chromophores have been shown to have a promising future in low cost and high speed electro–optic device applications. However, a main question of concern is the photochemical stability of the chromophores for long term application. The chromophore TCVDPA with a benzene bridge between a tricyanovinyl acceptor and an amino donor has been reported to have h...

Soliton electro-optic effects in paraelectrics.
The combination of charge separation induced by the formation of a single photorefractive screening soliton and an applied external bias field in a paraelectric is shown to lead to a family of useful electro-optic guiding patterns and properties.
