Abstract :
Summary form only. Electrooptic polymers are efficient materials for designing integrated optics devices for telecommunication applications. The electronic origin of their optical nonlinearities and the low dispersion of their refractive indices make them ideal materials for high frequency applications required in future telecommunication networks. We review some recent developments of polymer electrooptic modulators which make them suitable for applications in telecommunication systems.
