Polymeric Electro‐Optic Modulators: Matereials synthesis and processing

Abstract

The commercialization of new NLO materials will depend not only on the mastery of the technical problems but also on the availability of investment capital. Here, the research issues most relevant to commercialization are viewed and the advantages and disadvantages of new systems, both inorganic and organic, for example the cross‐linked thin‐film structure shown in the figure, presented and discussed. magnified image
