Abstract
We report on a poling process of soda-lime glasses that reduces their surfa ce conductivity by five orders of magnitude. We show that this process enab les the in-plane poling of high T-g (180 degrees C) electro-optic (EO) poly mers coated on ion-exchanged channel waveguides fabricated in soda-lime gla sses for hybrid modulators.
