RF Photonics Materials and Devices
Abstract
Our MURI research team has developed several innovative materials and devices that would enable a quantum leap in the performance of RF Photonic systems. We have also applied these devices to several novel system concepts and achieved world record performances. In the material development, we have produced new electro-optic polymers with record high electro-optic coefficients (r33 = 60 pm/v at 1330 nm and 45 pm/v at 1550 nm wavelengths), low optical loss (<2 dB/cm), and good long-term stability at 100 deg. C. This leads to electro-optic polymer modulators with record low Vpi (1.2 V 1300 nm and l.8V 1550 nm) and high bandwidth (>40GHz, limited by the measurement systems).
