High-speed coherent optical communication has been expanding to handle the ever-increasing data traffic, and the large modulation bandwidth of electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators has been especially appreciated. However, to be useful in optical communication, the EO polymer device should address several issues, such as thermal stability, photo-oxidation, and bias drift. In this work, as a part of the experiments to address these challenges, an EO polymer with a fluorinated polyimide backbone is utilized to create EO polymer modulators with improved thermal stability. A coplanar electrode structure is introduced to enhance the poling efficiency and reduce the bias drift.

AbstractAC electrical behavior of a novel aromatic electro-optic polyimide was investigated in the temperature range 25 °C to 300 °C and a frequency range from 1 Hz to 106 Hz. Three electrical quantities: impedance, permittivity and electric modulus are reported. The dependence of imaginary and real components of these quantities on temperature and frequency are discussed. The experimental results show that the polymer has high thermal stability below 200 °C, where the resistivity, dielectric constant and permittivity are nearly temperature-independent indicating highly rigid structure. Above this temperature, however, a well-defined broad peak corresponding to a relaxation process was observed for which the activation energy was calculated to be 8.5 Kcal/mole. This relaxation is associated with a restricted local rotational motion of the side chain chromophore.
