This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II research project will develop compact, high-speed, low-voltage waveguide modulator devices, with capabilities well beyond those presently available. The enabling technology for these devices is a patented process for deposition and patterning of single-crystal lithium niobate (LiNbO3) thin films. This technology will be refined with particular emphasis on improving manufacturability and reducing production costs, by working closely with manufacturers of commercial telecommunications components. Fiber optic networks are being implemented in industry, defense and domestic and international telecommunications. Traveling wave modulators are a key component in these networks. This project will enable new products that will add increased speed, capacity and flexibility to growing optical communications networks. In the longer term, this technology could also be applied to a variety of other devices based on single crystal films of a non-linear electro-optical material such as LiNbO3.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段研究项目将开发紧凑，高速，低压波导调制器设备，其功能远远超出目前的水平。 这些器件的实现技术是一种用于沉积和图案化单晶铌酸锂（LiNbO3）薄膜的专利工艺。 将通过与商业电信部件制造商密切合作，改进这项技术，特别注重提高可制造性和降低生产成本。 光纤网络正在工业、国防、国内和国际电信中实施。 行波调制器是这些网络中的关键部件。 该项目将使新产品能够为不断增长的光通信网络增加速度，容量和灵活性。 从长远来看，该技术还可以应用于基于诸如LiNbO3的非线性电光材料的单晶膜的各种其他器件。
