Nonlinear Optics and Integrated Optical Switching with Ferroelectric-Liquid Crystal Waveguides

在第二阶段的研究中，提出了以微米级二阶铁电液晶(FLC)通道光波导为电光介质的近红外光行波电光调制器。研究了低折射率聚合物薄膜的沟道形成技术和微米尺度沟道的FLC近晶层对准技术；还将开展电极形成、光波导耦合和雷达频率耦合技术。

During the Phase II research it is proposed to develop travelling wave electro-optic modulators for near infrared light using micrometer dimension, second order ferro-electric liquid crystals (FLC) channel waveguides as the electro-optic medium. Research into channel formations techniques in low index polymer films and FLC smectic layer alignment techniques for micrometer dimension channels; electrode formation, optical waveguide coupling and radar frequency coupling techniques will also be carried out.
