Multifunctional photonic devices based on polymeric materials

摘要

A multifunctional polymeric deice capable of performing functions such as electro-optic modulation, optical amplification, and electro-optic switching simultaneously is described. All three modules can be built on a single substrate. A novel polymeric modulator with structure based on 1 $MUL 2 Y-fed directional coupler is demonstrated. The results of preliminary investigations on optical amplifiers are presented.
