Abstract
A hybrid four layer guide (FLG) including a glass guide and a 2-docosy lamino-5-nitropyridine Langmuir-Blodgett film is described, and some t ests are reported on an electro-optic modulator based on this FLG. The modulation of laser diode light was obtained by guided mode interfere nce, without a Mach-Zehnder configuration of the device. From the modu lated signal the r(22) electro-optic coefficient was calculated as 11 pm/V. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
