Abstract

Over the past few decades, EO (electro-optic) polymers have been developed into modulator devices that have incredible speed and low power. The talk will explore how advanced EO polymer materials can fill in the gaps of the photonics roadmap through extremely high performance. As the appetite for increased traffic continues unabated, there are needs to look for faster and lower power consuming optoelectronic devices. One such device that merits potential that can be integrated on a photonics platform as a PIC (photonic integrated circuit) is the EO polymer modulator that is attractive not only in raw speed, but also in low power consumption for systems through direct driving without the use of dedicated (and often expensive) driver chips. Polymer modulator data will be presented that aligns with industry-based photonics roadmaps.
