Guiding Light in Electro-Optic Polymers

Guiding 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...

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...

Electro-optic hologram generation on spatial light modulators

Binary computer-generated holograms' (BCGH's) are becoming essential components in optical signal processing schemes. Apart from image reconstruction, these holograms can serve as spatial filters, optical elements, and the basic component in sophisticated interconnection networks.2 The present paper deals with BCGH's presented on spatial light modulators (SLM's), which provide realtime variabil...
