Title :
Hybrid Electro-Optic Polymer Devices: Beating the Drive Voltage/Insertion Loss Trade-Off
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
We have developed a solution to the voltage/insertion loss tradeoff in electro-optic polymer modulators by adopting hybrid geometry. We will discuss recent results in these devices, notably the achievement of r33 = 170 pm/V in a device.
