Abstract
The potential to produce low cost, high efficiency electrooptic switching and modulating devices from organic materials has been a subject of intensive research for some time. The recent development of optically nonlinear polymeric materials with electrooptic coefficient equaling or exceeding those of inorganic crystals has produced renewed interest in the fabrication of demonstration devices. Such devices must show not only the advantages of the electrooptic material over traditional materials, but also the advantages obtained from the fabrication of such devices with spin-on, low cost, easily processed polymer materials.
