Abstract
The selective poling procedure (SPP) has been used to form electrooptic channel waveguides in thin film organic media.1·2 The first devices fabricated using this procedure demonstrated this fabrication principle but did not function at an acceptable level since they were composed of multimode waveguides. Many of the devices envisioned for use in the integrated optics area, such as Y-branch interferometers3 and evanescent couplers and switches,4 should be constructed either in part or entirely from single-mode waveguides. This paper concerns the application of the SPP to the fabrication of single-mode waveguides as well as novel architectures for devices based on this fabrication technique.
