Book excerpt: Electro-optic (EO) polymers have proved to be promising for use in optical modulators due to their broad bandwidth and higher electro-optic coefficient compared to conventional inorganic ceramics, while maintaining compatibility with Si-Photonics hence lowering the manufacturing cost. While modulator designs using EO polymers have been explored previously, these designs require a long length (>1cm) to obtain a phase shift of 180o at reasonable voltage levels. In order to produce a modulator with a smaller footprint, the device must have a low figure of merit of VÏ0xL. Conventional EO polymer-based modulators offer decent bandwidth characteristics (>50GHz), however, the length - half wave voltage tradeoff limits the size and the practicality. In recent years, the use of slow-wave photonic crystal (PhC) structures has been shown to enhance the half wave voltage without increasing the modulator length. The goal of this work is to enhance phase sensitivity performance of an electro-optic (EO) polymer based phase modulator (PM) design by utilizing PhC structures. The addition of a PhC structure produces a slow-wave effect, which allows for control of the group velocity of the optical wave in the core of the integrated optic channel. PhC structures consist of a base substrate with a second material added along periodic lattice, in close proximity to the core of the optical waveguide. Analysis and numerical calculation group velocity in 1D and 2D PhC structures showed an increase in the effective group index of refraction, indicating a slowed group velocity of the lightwave. These structures were modeled using MATLAB by considering periodic structures to obtain the sensitivity of the group index of refraction in relation to cell size and periodicity. The PhC structure was analytically modeled and then verified using periodic boundaries utilizing finite element method (FEM). The FEM based HFSS simulation has included 1D and 2D PhC topologies using material combinations of PMMA/Air or PMMA/Si3N4 structures. The primary goal of this thesis is then achieved by adding the modeled slow wave structure to a traveling-wave EO polymer-based phase modulator as either a substrate or superstrate to the optical core. To quantify the phase modulation sensitivity improvement, the traveling wave phase modulator was modeled first using FEM and beam propagation methods (BPM) to model RF and optical characteristics. Then, both substrate and superstrate topologies are introduced to the PM design. Utilizing both techniques, the EO polymer based PM design with an added PhC structure reduces the length voltage product required to achieve optical phase of 180o. Phase improvement due to the added structure was achieved through modulator simulation, yielding an improved effective EO coefficient of 162.2 pm/V compared to 67.9pm/V from the original modulator. The optimal topology a high phase improvement was chosen to be the superstrate design using a 2D PMMA/Air topology, whereas the most practical manufacturing challenge was chosen to be the 2D PMMA/Si3N4 topology with a superstrate design.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-speed, broadband, and compact analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are the key components in signal waveform generation and efficient detection for future telecommunication and remote sensing applications. Canonical electronic ADCs suffers from limited effective number of bits (ENOB) at giga-sampling rate due to electronic clock aperture jitter and comparator ambiguity due to the transistor bandwidth limitations. An electrically interleaved ADC operating at lower sampling rates or a hybrid ADC using optically sampled and electrically quantized structures that leverages the low optical aperture jitter of mode-locked laser and high-resolution electronic quantization are not only power consuming but are also limited in effective sampling rate within 10 GS/s as the quantizer outputs still must be accurately aligned in time to form the input information in electronic domain. On the other hand, the reported all-optical ADC (AOADC) benefits from the low jitter of optical clock, while quantizes the input signal in optical domain using spatial modulation. In this dissertation, various design innovations leading to paths of a fully integrated 40 GS/s AOADC with 8 ENOB by incorporating integrated stable clock using self-forced optical phase modulator (PM) based opto-electronic oscillators (OEO) and single-channel spatial light modulator (SLM) by advancing research innovations of the past laboratory graduates.Design of optical PM and SLM designs are based on broadband traveling-wave coupled microstrip (CMS) electrode structures with improved phase and angular deflection modulation using slow-waveguiding behavior of 1-D photonic crystal (PhC) topologies as superstrate using optical beam propagation (OptiBPM), finite-difference-time-domain (OptiFDTD), and finite element method (HFSS). Optimized design geometries of 1-D PhC over 1550 nm is considered to minimize the optical loss while the modulation sensitivity is enhanced by about 108% compared to modulator designs without the PhC layer. Similar spatial modulation sensitivity improvements are achieved for SLMs with leaky wave designs. These designs are implemented on low-cost Si-photonics and electro-optic (E-O) chromophores on low loss and higher index PMMI host material rather than standard PMMA. Novel design of OEO based on PM rather than Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) has advantage of bias voltage independence that makes OEO less sensitive to shift in bias voltage due to piezo-electric or pyro-electric properties of E-O material, but then requires phase to intensity modulators (PM-IM). Sagnac-loop based OEO is demonstrated, where close-in to carrier phase noise at 10 GHz are reduced using self-forced techniques of self-injection locking and dual self-phase-locked loop (SILDPLL) for long-term stability of optical clocks to predict timing jitter as low as 19.5 fs using 3-/5-km fiber mandrills in modular experiment.To achieve a monolithically integrated AOADC consisting of the proposed SLM and stable optical clock provided by OEOs with the estimated performance, a heterogeneously integrated InP multi-mode laser (MML) as an on-chip OEO source, where inter-modal oscillation and PM-IM convertor rather than relying on Sagnac-loop design, where a non-reciprocal phase shifter (NRPS) is not compatible with Si on-chip integration at the present. RF signal generated from MML typically suffers poor stabilization and 25-fold reduction in timing jitter is measured compared to the free-running case, when SEILDPLL with external optical delays of 5-/15-(mu)s are employed. Moreover, for a fully integrated design rather than modular fiber mandrills, both non-dispersive and dispersive add-drop filter (ADF) resonators are modeled using both full-wave OptiFDTD and proven MATLAB codes on SiN based optical time delays of 975 ns within a chip area of 27 cm2 and 0.1 cm2, respectively. Furthermore, limits of performance improvements using a combined stabilization processes of self-mode-locking (SML) techniques and self-forced SML are investigated. Timing jitter of a 13-mode SML (e.g., fabricated using HHI foundry service) with 700 ns SEIL and 700-/900-ns DSPLL integrated IOEO is estimated to be only 7.6 fs at 10 GHz.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer-based electro-optical modulators are, generally, applicable to many fields but their applications to analog optical links and silicon photonic integrated circuits are specifically emphasized in this dissertation. This dissertation aims to improve the linearity characteristics of polymer-based electro-optic modulators for their practical application in high speed analog optical links. Domain-inversion technique is employed to linearize a two-section Y-fed directional coupler modulator. The spurious free dynamic range as high as 119dB/Hz2/3 has been demonstrated with 11dB enhancement over the conventional Mach-Zehnder modulator at low frequency. For high speed modulation, a traveling wave electrode with low RF loss and large bandwidth is designed and installed in a linearized Y-fed directional coupler modulator. The spurious free dynamic range has been measured in the range of 110±3dB/Hz2/3 at 2~8GHz frequency. For digital application of polymer-based electro-optic modulators, a hybrid silicon photonic crystal waveguide modulator was investigated with focus on size-reduction and electro-optic efficiency enhancement. The slow group velocity of photonic crystal waveguides promises two orders of magnitude size-reduction in device footprint compared with the conventional strip waveguide. Infiltration of an electro-optic polymer into the slot waveguide can infuse silicon with nonlinear optical properties. To actualize these benefits of a hybrid silicon photonic crystal waveguide modulator, nano-fabrication process was developed and optimized in this work.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fully utilize the advances of electro-optic (EO) polymer research, a detail design and model of a triple stacked poled-polymer, electro-optic waveguide modulator was developed to provide guidance in the selection of cladding layers and demonstrate how the mode conditions affect the overall device performance. Waveguide devices depend not only on the EO materials used in the core, but also on the cladding materials. In contrast to most of the research that has focused on molecular engineering of the electro-optically active materials to improve the core properties of the waveguide, this work studied the effects of cladding material properties to improve overall device performance of an electro-optic waveguide modulator. Various, commercially available polymer materials were identified and investigated for potential cladding layers according to their optical, electrical, process ability and film casting properties. A poled-polymer, strip-loaded waveguide, EO modulator is designed and analyzed in terms of single mode conditions, optical loss due to the metal electrodes, modulation efficiency, and mode size. Two designs were compared: Design 1 optimized the half-wave voltage for a single-arm modulator (Vpi = 2.5 V) with a nearly symmetric waveguide by maximizing modulation efficiency and minimizing the overall thickness of the waveguide; Design 2 optimized the insertion loss (6 dB) with a strongly asymmetric waveguide by maximizing the overall mode size to most efficiently overlap with a single mode fiber. High frequency analysis of a microstrip electrode showed a modulator with a push-pull scheme can be fabricated with half-wave voltage (Vpi) of 4.0 V for Design 1 and 5.1 V for Design 2 at 3 GHz. Some general guidelines in the design of a poled-polymer electro-optic modulator incorporating a strip-loaded waveguide structure are suggested. First, the core layer thickness and ridge width supporting single mode propagation should be fabricated as large as possible by increases the asymmetry of the refractive index between the top and bottom cladding layer. Second, the thicknesses of the top and bottom cladding layers must be optimized through an analysis of the waveguide mode amplitude distribution so that the electrode-associated optical loss is minimized to a required level while simultaneously the total thickness of the waveguide is minimized. The ridge structure greatly simplifies fabrication procedures, reduces fabrication steps and eliminates propagation losses due to roughness of etched sidewalls. The results of the analysis were modeled in beam propagation software to confirm the ideal conditions for single mode propagation.

Download or read book Electro-Optic Polymers: Materials and Devices written by Christopher Todd DeRose and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electro-optic (EO) polymers are an attractive alternative to inorganic nonlinear materials. EO polymers with a Pockel's coefficient, r33, greater than 320 pm/V have been recently demonstrated. In addition to their high EO activity, EO polymers have the additional benefit that their dielectric constants at optical and millimeter wave frequencies are closely matched which allow for bandwidths which are limited only by the resistive losses of traveling wave electrodes. The amorphous nature of the host polymer makes heterogeneous integration of the materials on any substrate possible. The devices which will have the most immediate impact based on these recent materials developments are EO waveguide modulators. Performance benchmarks of less than 6 dB insertion loss, sub-volt Vpi and greater than 100 GHz bandwidth have been achieved separately however, the challenge of achieving all of these benchmarks in a single device has not yet been met. The aim of this dissertation is to optimize passive materials to achieve efficient in device poling of EO polymers, optimize the chromophore loading of the active polymers and to optimize waveguide modulators for device performance within a particular system, analog RF photonic links. These optimizations were done by defining figures of merit for the materials and modulators. This research strategy has led to significant improvements in poling efficiency as well as modulators with record low insertion losses which maintain a low half-wave voltage; on the order of 1 - 2 Volts. Using this optimization strategy and state of the art EO polymers, devices which meet or surpass the benchmark performance values in all categories are expected in the near future.
