Acousto-Optic and Linear Electro-Optic Properties of Organic Polymeric Materials

Abstract

The potential of organic polymeric materials for use in acoustooptic and electrooptic devices operating at GHz frequencies is examined. This is accomplished by identifying and briefly discussing the important molecular properties for enhanced acoustooptic and electrooptic effects and then relating these to current polymeric materials.
