Title

Modal dispersion phase-matching in polymer waveguides with inverted poling structure

Abstract

Modal dispersion phase-matching (MDPM) has been demonstrated in channel waveguides consisting of oppositely poled polymer layers. An inverted poling structure is obtained by using two nonlinear optical polymers, poly(styrene-maleic anhydride) copolymers, of different glass transition temperature. The poling inversion has been established by in situ electro-optic measurements, electro-optic thermal analysis, and second harmonic generation (SHG) thermal analysis. Initial SHG measurements yield a figure of merit of 7%/W-cm2, the highest reported in poled polymers.
