Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated electro-optic phase modulator array is described. The method may include providing a first substrate. The first substrate may include an interconnect array. The method may include arranging an array of electro-optic phase modulators on a surface of the first substrate. Each electro-optic phase modulator may include a polymer optical stack, a semiconductor substrate, an electric input, an optical input, and/or an optical output. The interconnect array in each modulator may include an electrical interconnect, an electrical bypass, and/or an optical interconnect. The electrical interconnect may connect to a respective electrical input. The electrical bypass may connect at least a pair of adjacent modulators. The optical interconnect may connect a respective optical input and optical output. Each modulator may be series connected to a respective fuse arranged along the electric interconnect between the respective electric input and a voltage source.
Abstract: The present invention is directed, in general, to nonlinear optical chromophores having a Michler's base-type group. Various embodiments of the present invention include nonlinear optical chromophores with Michler's base-type group having a Michler's base donor group connected to a ?-bridge group.

Abstract: The present invention is directed, in general, to nonlinear optical chromophores having an indolizine donor group. Various embodiments of the present invention include nonlinear optical chromophores with indolizine donor group having an indolizine donor connected to a II-bridge group. In various preferred embodiments of the present invention, the indolizine donor groups may be substituted or unsubstituted, including hydro and alkyl substituents, aryl substituents and combination thereof. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the substituent moieties in the indolizine donor groups may be important for isolation. The isolation may reduce chromophore-chromophore interaction. The isolation may reduce charge transfer between molecules. The isolation may increase maximum applied voltage, which may contribute to more optimal poling and higher r33.
