Electro-Optic Beam Steering Using Non-Linear Organic Materials

Abstract

This report summarizes Hughes Research Laboratories efforts on evaluation of non-linear optical polymer materials supplied by State University of New York (SUNY), Buffalo, for potential application to the Hughes electro- optic beam deflector device. Evaluations include electro-optic coefficient, response time, transmission, and resistivity. Electro-optic coefficient measurements were made at 633 nm using a simple reflection technique. The samples measured in the range of 1-2.5 pm/V, which is too low to be of practical use in the Hughes beam deflector device.
