Electro-optic Polymer Waveguide Devices - Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Abstract

This presentation will include a discussion of three of the promising areas where electro-optic polymers have unique advantages (i) high bandwidth traveling wave external optical modulators operating at millimeter wave frequencies (>30 GHz), (ii) monolithic integration of EO polymers with VLSI electronics for high speed opto-electronics, and (iii) photonic sensing and measuring, without metal electrodes, of electro-magnetic fields.
