High efficiency EO directional coupler modulator

We have a unique approach to forming non linear optical materials. Also known as poled polymers, they are unstable and have severe and rapid degradation. We will use unique materials and a poled plasma process to produce a stable EO material with greater than 100 pm/V sensitivity and less than 1 dB/cm loss. We are able to use these low cost and highly efficient materials to fabricate a variety of devices including optical switches to direct optical data streams, optical modulators for impressing data on the light stream, or combining them with other photonic planar waveguide devices to provide wavelength agility for increased bandwidth and functionality. In photonics significant advances will require new materials and processes to achieve higher performance and lower costs. The proposed material is a new approach to DWDM providing superior performance with higher electro-optic susceptibility to reduce operating voltages and power consumed making integration to digital devices more successful than lithium niobate devices requiring hundreds of volts. We are striving for losses in the 10 dB per meter range or less in Phase 1.
