Abstract

Summary form only given. The measurements of our ultra-fast traveling wave modulators made from electrooptic polymer materials have now been extended to over 110 GHz. A laser heterodyne system using both YAG lasers and tunable semiconductor lasers was used in these measurements which were limited only by the contacts to the device
