Abstract

The design and fabrication of a surface plasmon resonance electro- optic polymer light modulator in a bulk format is discussed. Initial experimental results are presented which demonstrate up to 18.5% modulation for a surface plasmon modulator constructed on the base of a SF-59 window using a silver/polymer/silver configuration. A theoretical model for the miniaturization of this device into an integrated optical configuration is presented. The potential benefits and obstacles associated with fabricating this device in an integrated configuration are discussed.
