Abstract
Traveling-wave electro-optic modulators based on chromophoric self-assembled superlattices (SASs) possessing intrinsically polar microstructures have been designed and fabricated. Although the thickness of the SAS layer is only a π-phase shift is clearly observed. From the measured value, the effective electro-optic coefficient of the SAS film is determined to be at an input wavelength of 1064 nm.
