Mesoporous sol-gel silica cladding for hybrid TiO2/electro-optic polymer waveguide modulators.
We report the efficient poling of an electro-optic (EO) polymer in a hybrid TiO(2)/electro-optic polymer multilayer waveguide modulator on mesoporous sol-gel silica cladding. The mesoporous sol-gel silica has nanometer-sized pores and a low refractive index of 1.24, which improves mode confinement in the 400-nm-thick EO polymer film in the modulators and prevents optical absorption from the low...
متن کاملSol-Gel Material-Enabled Electro-Optic Polymer Modulators
Sol-gels are an important material class, as they provide easy modification of material properties, good processability and are easy to synthesize. In general, an electro-optic (EO) modulator transforms an electrical signal into an optical signal. The incoming electrical signal is most commonly information encoded in a voltage change. This voltage change is then transformed into either a phase ...
متن کاملHybrid sol-gel silica channel waveguide Bragg grating fabrication using single-step UV patterning
A new method to fabricate Bragg gratings in hybrid sol-gel silica ridge waveguides, based on single-step 248 nm UV radiation patterning, is proposed and demonstrated. Heat treatment and UV exposure effects are analyzed.
متن کاملHybrid polysaccharide-silica nanocomposites prepared by the sol-gel technique.
New monolithic nanocomposite silica biomaterials were synthesized on the basis of various natural polysaccharides and recently introduced completely water-soluble precursor tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl) orthosilicate. The sol-gel processes were performed in aqueous solutions without the addition of organic solvents and catalysts. The silica polymerization was promoted by the polysaccharides through ...
متن کاملA multimode interference polymer-silica hybrid waveguide 2×2 thermo-optic switch
A polymer-silica hybrid 2×2 thermo-optic switch is demonstrated. The top cladding and core layer are composed of polymers, while the bottom cladding is made of silica. Since polymer and silica have opposite signs of thermo-optic coefficients, the change of the refractive index of the core is opposite to that of the bottom cladding as the temperature increased. With the finite difference beam pr...
