Organic and polymeric materials exhibit many important properties as electro-optic materials. Poled polymer films are particularly well suited for integrated optic devices, due to their large electro-optic coefficients, low dielectric constants, and flexible processability. We review our work toward the fabrication of active polymer integrated optic devices based on a newly developed channel waveguide fabrication procedure, and detail some of the properties of the devices.
