Techniques for electrode poling of electro-optic polymers to eliminate poling induced optical loss and poling induced damage to electro-optic chromophores

摘要

Method for manufacturing an electro-optic polymer waveguide device including the step of electrode poling an electro-optic polymer material of the device in an oxygen-free environment. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode poling is performed at a temperature close to a glass transition temperature of the electro-optic polymer material.
