Efficient Poling of Electro-Optic Polymers in Thin Films and Silicon Slot Waveguides by Detachable Pyroelectric Crystals

Pyroelectric crystals are used as a conformal and detachable electric field source to efficiently pole electro‐optic (E‐O) polymers in both parallel‐plate (transverse) and in‐plane (quasi‐longitudinal) configurations. Large Pockels coefficients in poled thin films and high tunability of resonance wa...

Description
Summary:Pyroelectric crystals are used as a conformal and detachable electric field source to efficiently pole electro‐optic (E‐O) polymers in both parallel‐plate (transverse) and in‐plane (quasi‐longitudinal) configurations. Large Pockels coefficients in poled thin films and high tunability of resonance wavelength shift in hybrid polymer silicon slot waveguide ring‐resonator modulators have been achieved using this method.
