Abstract
T. J. MarksNorthwestern UniversityDepartment of ChemistryandMaterials Research CenterEvanston, Illinois 60208-3113Abstract. Intrinsically acentric self-assembled superlattices(SASs) have been directly grown in a layer-by-layer processon the commercially available polymer Cyclotene™. Usingthe high-temperature/high-transparency fluoropolyether Cy-top™ as a cladding layer, the SAS films have been used tosuccessfully fabricate traveling-wave electro-optic (EO)modulators, demonstrating a straightforward approach to-ward ‘‘all-organic’’ modulators.
