Doped optical claddings for waveguide devices with electrooptical polymers

Optical claddings used with electrooptical polymer waveguides were doped with organic salts. The resulting decrease in resistivity was used to increase the electrical field strength across the electrooptical polymer. Relative poling fields were increased by a factor of 3.1 near the T/sub g/ temperat...

Description
Summary:Optical claddings used with electrooptical polymer waveguides were doped with organic salts. The resulting decrease in resistivity was used to increase the electrical field strength across the electrooptical polymer. Relative poling fields were increased by a factor of 3.1 near the T/sub g/ temperature, and the V/sub pi / was decreased by a factor of 2.8.< >
