| Research Abstract |
Organic EO polymers can provide extremely high modulation speeds in excess of 100 GHz, and very high EO coefficients that are much higher than that of lithium niobate. In this study, we show experimental evidence that the performance of nonlinear optical applications such as the electro-optic modulators are dramatically improved by controlling the matter-radiation nonlinear interaction in the nonlinear optical polymer two-dimensional photonic crystals fabricated by organic/silicon nano-hybrid technology. The results will open up possibilities in unprecedented applications such as highly efficient and ultrafast optical data processing systems in organic nanophotonic architectures.
