Abstract

In this letter, we report a new electro-optic (EO) polymer film DMACB/PEK-c. After poling of the film the refractive indices n_t and n_n, viz. the in-film-plane and the normal-to-film plane indices of refraction at 0.63-micrometer and the thickness d were determined using the quasi-waveguide m-line method. The electric field-induced changes in the refractive indices of the film, (delta) n_t and (delta) n_n, were also independently measured when an electric field was applied normal to the film plane. The EO coefficients of the film, (gamma) ₁₃ and (gamma) ₃₃, are found to be 32.9 pm/V and 82.6 pm/V respectively.
