Abstract :
We have demonstrated integrated polymer photonic RF phase shifter arrays with a novel balanced design, new symmetric mode configurations and a simplified fabrication procedure, which is capable of removing conventional drawbacks in this type of phase shifter architecture. These devices showed four independent highly linear RF phase outputs and negligible RF power fluctuation at the modulation frequency of 20 GHz.
