Electro-optic polymers for high speed modulators
Different electro-optic polymer systems are analyzed with respect to their electro-optic activity, glass transition temperature (Tg) and photodefinable properties. The polymers tested are polysulfone (PS) and polycarbonate (PC). The electro-optic chromophore, tricyanovinylidenediphenylaminobenzene (TCVDPA),which was reported to have a highest photochemical stability [1] has been employed in the...
متن کاملElectro-Optic Modulation using a Polymeric Microring Resonator with Highly Photostable Chromophores
Direct waveguide definition of a negative photoresist (SU8) containingtricyanovinylidenediphenylaminobenzene (TCVDPA) as electro-optic (EO) chromophore,has been demonstrated for the first time. This was possible by utilizing the chromophorelow absorption window in the UV region allowing crosslinking of the host polymer byexposing to UV light followed by thermal curing. TCVDPA wa...
متن کاملNanophotonic lithium niobate electro-optic modulators.
Since the emergence of optical fiber communications, lithium niobate (LN) has been the material of choice for electro-optic modulators, featuring high data bandwidth and excellent signal fidelity. Conventional LN modulators however are bulky, expensive and power hungry, and cannot meet the growing demand in modern optical data links. Chip-scale, highly integrated, LN modulators could offer solu...
متن کاملGuiding Light in Electro-Optic Polymers
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 polymer...
متن کاملUltralow Power Silicon Modulators
We discuss recent results in low-energy (0.9fJ/bit) high-speed (25Gb/s) electro-optically stabilized microdisk modulators. The combined results of highly efficient modulation and electro-optic thermal compensation represent a major step towards single-digit femtojoule-class communications. ©2014 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.5750) Resonators; ...
