  • Abstract
    An all polymer EO modulator with a simple fabrication process using commercially available cladding materials has been designed, fabricated, and characterized. The result is a low Vπ modulator that is capable of being scaled up to larger scale production. Continued work on this project is being made towards designing an amplitude modulator structure and developing traveling wave transmission line electrodes that will utilize the low dispersion and THz response times of the π-conjugated OEOM system for high frequency operation.
