Abstract
Millimeter (MM)-wave signals at frequencies up to 102 GHz have been time st retched down to 11 GHz using a new wide-band traveling-wave polymer modulat or. This is the first application of electrooptic modulators fabricated usi ng the new polymer material PC-CLD, which has demonstrated good optical ins ertion loss and high nonlinearity at 1.55 mu m.
