Abstract

Organic-poled polymers have recently attracted much interest as electric-field-sensor materials for electro-optic sampling of high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) due to their large and fast electro-optic effect, low dielectric constant, and IC compatible fabrication process.^1-3 The organic polymers poled normal to the. film, surface to detect tire, longitudinal electric field from interconnections of interest are transversely isotropic. With the conventional polarization-detection technique, this would require complex optical methods, such as oblique incidence of the laser beam¹ or interferometric double beam detection,² in contrast to electro-optic sampling using inorganic crystals.
