Abstract:
Two different poling techniques—corona poling and contact poling in the backdrop of electro-optic(EO)polymer modulators are compared.A 3-layer structure EO polymer modulator is prepared for the poling.The poling setups and procedures of these two different methods are given.It is found that a well-controlled pre-cure step is very critical, otherwise it will result in either lower poling efficiency or damaged film.Experimental results show that contact poling does not create severe surface damage as corona poling and poling voltage is much lower, but corona poling provides higher EO effect than contact poling.Besides, contact poling can provide poling size as large as the substrate size.
对调制器用电光聚合物材料的2种极化工艺——直接接触极化方法和电晕极化方法进行实验比较和分析, 制备了用于极化实验的3层结构的电光聚合物调制器, 给出了这2种极化方法的实验装置和极化工艺.实验发现, 极化前的预处理工艺控制非常关键, 否则会降低极化效率或损伤膜表面.结果表明:直接接触极化方式对膜表面的损伤较小, 极化电压低, 而电晕极化方式可以得到高的电光系数.直接接触极化方式极化的面积能够达到基板的尺寸.
