Abstract
A fast electrooptic modulation in the polymer waveguide using ferroelectric liquid crystal has been proposed. In this device, the soft mode ferroelectric liquid crystal (SMFLC) is used as an active material on the passive polymer waveguide, and electrooptic switching is realized by controlling the total reflection at the polymer waveguide-liquid crystal interface. The response time is of the order of several microseconds. An analogue electrooptic modulation in the waveguide is realized using the field-induced linear molecular tilt of the electroclinic effect in SMFLC.
