Abstract

Recent progress in organic electro-optic materials has lead to organic polymer devices that can modulate broad band visible light at frequencies which will permit the simultaneous transmission of thousands of real-time television signals down a single optical fiber. The intent is to manufacture modulator device structures which are incorporated directly on the same semiconductor chip which supplies both the electronics and power for the modulation process. Doing this requires polymers and electro-optic dyes that can withstand the processing conditions typical for semiconductor devices. The lowest temperature conditions available are about 350°C. We are presently involved in a collaborative project in conjunction with IBM Almaden Research Laboratories and Lockheed Corporation, in attempting to discover the decomposition temperatures of existing electro-optic dyes and conducting the analysis of the relationship between the decomposition temperatures and the molecular structures.
