Abstract
We report what is to our knowledge the first demonstration of electro- optic phase modulation in a fused-silica channel waveguide. The nonlin earity is induced through elevated temperature poling of an electron-b eam-irradiated waveguide. A phase shift of 32 mrad was measured at lam bda = 633 nm for a device interaction length of 4.8 mm and an applied electric field of 7.3 V/mum.
