An investigation on fiber coupled polymer waveguide for electro-optic modulator

A novel crosslinkable polyurethane is used as the core layer of the electro-optic(E-O) modulator. The refractive index and dispersion of this material have been detected by analyzing the F-P oscillation in transmission spectra. Calculated results from the effective index method are given to design the Mach-Zehnder and straight 5-layer ridge wave-guide device (including the metal electrodes). With light at 1.31 mum being fiber coupled into waveguide, the mode properties of these devices have been demonstrated in a micron control system. The guided mode is accordant with the theoretical analysis.

Multiple quantum well self electro-optic effect devices for optoelectronic smart pixels

The investigations on GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well self electro-optic effect device (SEED) arrays for optoelectronic smart pixels are reported. The hybrid integration of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well devices flip-chip bonding directly over 1 mu m silicon CMOS circuits are demonstrated. The GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well devices are designed for 850nm operation. The measurement results under applied biases show the good optoelectronic characteristics of elements in SEED arrays. The 4x4 optoelectronic crossbar structure consisting of hybrid CMOS-SEED smart pixels have been designed, which could be potentially used in optical interconnects for multiple processors.

Dependence of linear electro-optic coefficient on difference in the atomic sizes in zinc blende crystals

Covalent radii of the bonding elements have strong effects on the linear electro-optic coefficients of zinc blende crystals; these effects can be quantitatively determined by investigating the relation between the difference in the atomic sizes rho and the magnitude of the linear electro-optic tensor coefficient r(41). It is interesting to note that for the same cation Zn2+, Ga3+, or In3+ the magnitude of r(41) increases with increased covalent radius of the bonded anion r(beta). Especially with the increasing tendency of the parameter rho, the magnitude of r(41) of crystals that have a same cation will increase suddenly when the value of r(beta) becomes larger.

Bond-charge calculation of electro-optic coefficients of diatomic crystals

A theoretical method has been set up to calculate the electrooptic tensor coefficients r(ijk), based on the Phillips-Van Vechten (PV) dielectric theory and the Levine bond charge model, Starting from the crystal structure data and only introducing the experimentally determined optical permittivity and dielectric constant, the electro-optic tensor coefficients r(ijk) can be quantitatively predicted, The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with experiment in the case of zinc blende and wurtzite crystals, For zinc blende crystals, the effects of covalent radii on the linear electro-optic coefficients are discussed.

入射光偏振方向对LiNbO3晶体近光轴电光调制的影响

分析了在垂直LiNbO3晶体光轴方向加电压，光沿近光轴方向传播时，入射光偏振方向对电光调制器的影响。通过计算加电场后双折射光程差的变化和偏光振动方向的转动，画出在正交偏振镜下不同起偏方向的锥光干涉图，得到干涉图随起偏方向变化的规律：由偏光振动方向转动引起的消光区域随起偏方向的转动而转动，在起偏和检偏方向上始终消光，在与起偏方向成±45°角方向始终全透光，并且消光线的交点即感应双光轴头不随起偏方向的转动而变化，始终在折射率变大的感应主轴上。

Double refraction and reflection of sequential crystal interfaces with arbitrary orientation of the optic axis and application to optimum design

The general formulation of double refraction or internal double reflection for any directions of incidence and arbitrary orientation of the optic axis in a uniaxial crystal is analysed in terms of Huygens' principle. Then double refraction and double reflection along the sequential interfaces in a crystal are discussed. On this basis, if the parameters of the interface are chosen appropriately, the range of angular separation between the ordinary ray and extraordinary ray can be much greater, It is useful for crystal element design. Finally, as an example, an optimum design of the Output end interface for a 2 x 2 electro-optic switch is given.

Time domain synthesis of electro-optical birefringent system for optical waveform generation

In this paper is described a novel technique for producing an electro-optical intensity synthesizer which can generate different periodic time domain waveforms through only sine or cosine wave applied-voltages. The synthesizer presented here consists of a series of stages between two polarizers, with each stage consisting of an electro-optic element and a compensator. Every electro-optical element has the same applied-voltage function but different azimuth angles and ratios between the longitudinal and transverse lengths. The main principle is the synthesis of an electro-optic effect and a polarization interference effect in the time domain. This technique is based on an expanded Fourier positive-direction searching algorithm, which can not only simplify the calculation process but also produces many choices of structural parameters for different waveforms generation. A three-stage synthesis of an electro-optical birefringent system for continuous square waveform is undertaken to prove the principle.

Thermally Stable Guest-Host Polyetherketone Poled Polymer for Electro-Optical Applications

The high glass transition temperature polymer polyetherketone doped with disperse red 13 (DR13/PEK-c) has been prepared by the spin-coating method. Through in situ second-harmonic generation, the corona poling temperature was optimized by measuring the temperature dependence of the in situ second-harmonic generation signal intensity under the poling electric field. The linear electro-optic coefficients of the poled polymer films have been determined at 632.8 nm by using a simple interferometric technique. The polymer system was measured after 13 000 h, and found that it remained at 80% of its initial value.
