Abstract :
4-N,N-dimethylamino-4-methylstilbazolium tosylate single crystal films of DAST have been prepared. Single-pass electrooptic modulation has been demonstrated by Mach-Zehnder interferometry using such a thin film. Modulation as large as 20% was observed for a low ac field using a 3 μm thick film. These films are highly promising for applications in photonics
