Abstract :
Ultra-high speed electro-optic modulators have been fabricated on Mylar with integrated electrode transitions for W-band(75-110 GHz) operation. New polymer systems such as APII and FTC have been developed that are low loss, stable and have electro-optic coefficients exceeding that of LiNbO3
