Abstract :
Thin polycrystalline films of CdS have been successfully adapted into a multilayer Configuration to form the basis of low-electrical-drive-power optical phase modulators. An experimental structure with a guide thickness of 1.4 μm, buffer thicknesses of 0.45 μm and an electrode area of 10 × 0.5 mm2requires 11.2 mW. MHz-1drive power for a phase change of 1 rad.
