Abstract

Organic EO polymer can provide a high EO coefficient (r₃₃) >100 pm/V, ultrafast EO response time, very low dispersion of up to 250 GHz, and facile compatibility with other materials. Because of these outstanding properties it is highly desirable to utilize EO polymer in telecommunications to enlarge the bandwidth and to benefit from state-of-the-art CMOS fabrication capabilities. Here, we present our novel modulators based on the EO polymer / titanium dioxide (TiO₂) hybrid structure [1, 2].
