Systematic development of high bandwidth, low drive voltage organic electro-optic devices and their applications

Abstract Organic electro-optic (EO) materials have recently been prepared that exhibit EO coefficients in the range of 60–100 pm/V at the telecommunications wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 μm. The demonstration of devices with low drive voltage (0.8–2.0 V), together with high bandwidths (40–100 GHz) and low insertion loss (
