Described here is the first known demonstration of a registered two level guided wave polymeric electro-optic Mach–Zehnder intensity modulator array. The device consists of two complete vertically stacked levels. Both levels were independently poled and operated. There was no measurable optical or electrical cross talk due to a high resistivity thermoset polymer buffers layer employed. Fabrication and performance of the device is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
