Abstract

ABSTRACTThe exceptional electro-optic properties of poled polymer films, coupled with the power and flexibility of thin film fabrication and photolithographic processing, may make possible a new class of integrated optic systems combining the processing power of VLSI with a dense, high bandwidth, photonic interconnection and switching network. We report on the recent development and initial test results of two electro-optic polymer based integrated optic devices for optical interconnection applications. The first is an optical railtap for the distribution of many different optical signals from a single CW laser diode, and the second is a traveling wave Mach-Zehnder integrated optic modulator, which was modulated at frequencies up to 20 GHz.
