Active Polymer-Glass Waveguide Devices for Ultra-Fast Photonic

Abstract

This program was for the demonstration and development of a new generation of ultra-high bandwidth optoelectronic switching devices based on an unique combination of ultra-low loss ion- exchanged glass integrated optical waveguide devices coated with highly efficient and ultra-high bandwidth electro-optic polymers. This innovative approach combines the complementary strength of inorganic and organic materials and is based on a new material processing technology.
