Orientationally Ordered Electro-Optic Materials

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Optical and Electroactive Polymers

Abstract

Suitable materials for processing optical information are critical for implementation of all-optical and electro-optical communications and data processing systems. These technologies require materials with large optical nonlinearities, which certain organic materials have been shown to possess.[1] [2] [3] [4] Guided wave electro-optic systems require not only large optical nonlinearities, but also materials suitable for waveguiding and integration. Material considerations include manufacturability, that is capability of fabrication into reproducible devices; and integrability with sources, electronics, detectors, and interconnects. Additionally, materials should possess favorable dielectric properties: a low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and the requisite optical quality for producing low-loss optical waveguides.
