    Abstract: A thin film polymer device including a waveguide core surrounded by dielectric material positioned on a platform. The core has a passive input portion and a passive output portion joined by a necked down active portion. A layer of EO polymer material positioned on the dielectric material overlying the active portion of the core and the core, the EO polymer, and the dielectric material all having refractive indices with the refractive index of the EO polymer being higher than the refractive index of the dielectric material. Light progressing through the core from the passive input portion to the passive output portion transitions to the layer of EO polymer material as it enters the necked down active portion and transitions back to the core as it leaves the necked down active portion.

    Abstract: A polymer modulator includes a first cladding layer, a passive core region with a surface abutting a surface of the first cladding layer, the passive core region extending to define an optical input and an optical output for the modulator, a shaped electro-optic polymer active component with a surface abutting a surface of a central portion of the passive core region, the shaped electro-optic polymer active component being polled to align dipoles and promote modulation of light, the shaped electro-optic polymer active component having a length that extends only within a modulation area defined by modulation electrodes, and a second cladding layer enclosing the shaped electro-optic polymer active component and designed to produce adiabatic transition of light waves traveling in the passive core region into the shaped electro-optic polymer active component to travel the length of the shaped electro-optic polymer active component and return to the passive core region.

    Abstract: A guide transition device including a light source designed to generate a light beam, a light input port on a first plane and coupled to receive the light beam from the light source, a light output port on a second plane different than the first plane, the light output port designed to couple a received light beam to output equipment and plane shifting apparatus coupled to receive the light beam from the light input port on the first plane and to shift or transfer the light beam to the second plane. The plane shifting apparatus including one or more digital gratings each designed to deflect the light beam approximately ninety degrees. The plane shifting apparatus is coupled to transfer the light beam to the light output port on the second plane.
