Abstract
Packaging costs associated with optomechanical coupling of discrete optical components are a major part of the cost for advanced optoelectronic systems. Therefore, the discovery of a stable second-order nonlinearity induced in SiO2 materials1 has led to a great deal of work aimed at establishing a practical geometry and materials systems for poling both waveguide2 and fiber electro-optic elements.3,4 An electro-optic fiber would have a number of applications including in-line fiber modulators for high-speed fiber communications systems, electric field sensor for electric power industry and optical mixers to enable extension of the wavelength range available with high-power diode lasers.
