Full text available as: AbstractDifferent electro-optic polymer systems are analyzed with respect to their electro-optic activity, glass transition temperature  and photodefinable properties. The polymers tested are polysulfone (PS) and polycarbonate (PC). The electro-optic chromophore, tricyanovinylidenediphenylaminobenzene (TCVDPA), which was reported to have a highest photochemical stability [l] has been employed in the current work. Modified TCVDPA with bulky side groups has been synthesized, and a doubling of the electro-optic coefficient  compared to the unmodified TCVDPA has been shown. The plasticizing effect of the chromophore, has been reduced by attaching it to the polymer backbone. SU8 (passive) and PC-TCVDPA (active) channel waveguides were fabricated by photodefinition technique and the passive waveguide losses were measured to be 5 dB/cm at 1550nm. | Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Paper (Full Paper, Poster) |
