STTR97 Electro-Optic Fiber

Abstract

We have accomplished all of the Phase 1 technical objective set forth in the original proposal: (1) we have demonstrated the process for making electrodes around the core of a single mode polymer optical fiber; (2) we have demonstrated that the core can be electric field poled with these electrodes; (3) we have determined the linear loss and guiding mode profiles of the poled cores; (4) we have measured Phase modulation in this fiber with an external interferometer; and (5) we have shown that it is feasible to use such fibers to make a sagnac modulator and other electrooptic devices.
