Abstract

Photo lime gel has become increasingly important because of its potential for use in integrated holographic elements. However, it has been a passive optical component. An electro-optic modulator with nitrophenol and gelatin has been constructed and demonstrated for the first time. The transmission spectrum of nitrophenol/gelatin shows an ultrawide optical bandwidth, from 340 nm to 2800 nm. A relatively stable and large electro-optic effect, (gamma) ₃₃ equals 10 - 40 pm/V, was observed at 632.8 nm. This result indicates that both passive and active integrated optical devices can be fabricated onto the same polymer thin film to form a fully polymer-based miniature integrated optical circuit.
