Basic Materials and Fabrication Studies of Advanced Polymer Opto-Electronics

Abstract

This report reviews the research under the ASSERT Award for the support of graduate students. The work includes measurements of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of new electro-optics polymer materials developed by the Chemistry Department, applications of these materials to high speed infrared modulators, and a discussion of the issues involved in packaging these modulators. The report also includes a review of work on three dimensional integrated optics using passive polymer materials and a review of the trimming of polymer integrated optical components by photo-bleaching.
