  • Fabrication and electro-optic applications of glass optical fibers were reviewed. Theoretical description on the electro-optic Kerr effect in glass optical fibers, particularly for the second-order optical nonlinearity was given. Fabrication procedure and the characterization of the nonlinear electro-optic fibers with internal electrodes were described. Several electro-optic devices based on the polarimetric cells made by the nonlinear optical fibers with internal electrodes were also discussed with the experimental results on the electro-optic effect.

  • The formula to calculate a variation of optical path length of single crystal by the electric field was derived by this study. The formula was applied to $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ single crystal. The results are as follows. In case of the applied electric field in the body diagonal direction and the passing light along the same direction, the variation of optical path length had the largest value. The symmetry of the space distribution of optical path length satisfied $E3C_2\;8C_3$, the set of elements of the symmetry of $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ single crystal. The property which gave the largest influence to the variation of optical path length is the strain of length by the Inverse piezoelectric effect. The second influence, is the variation of the refractive index by the electro-optic effect. The variation of optical path length by the inverse piezoelectric effect and by the electro-optic effect have a reverse sign each other.

  • Nowadays, itis inevitable trend to use high Xe gas contents for increase luminous efficiency and luminance in plasma display panel. However, the increase of Xe gas contents causes the driving voltage, although the brightness is increase. In this paper, we study the characteristics of electro optical according to Xe gas contents and gas pressure. Electro-optical characteristics were investigated by the discharge voltage, luminance and luminous efficacy measurements, respectively. With some increasing Xe gas contents and pressure, the electro-optical properties increased. However, the characteristics of electro-optical begin to be saturated, when too high increased Xe gas contents and pressure.

  • The electro-optic properties in Langmuir Blodgett films of poly (vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) are investigated in the crossover region between two and three dimensions. The absence of finite size effect is observed in the films thinner than 20 nm, which confirms that these films are two dimensional ferroelectrics. The copolymer LB film of P(VDF-TrFE) exhibits the largest electro-optic response(26 pm/V) at 10 layer thickness. The cross-over behavior of electro-optic effect around the 10 layer thickness was discussed with the formation of nanomesa after thermal annealing.

  • We have prepared a phenothiazine-based nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore that displays a fairly high microscopic nonlinearity through intramolecular charge transfer. The phenothiazine unit plays important roles of contributing its high electron donating ability and connecting the resonance pathway through a conjugative effect in the cyclized ring adjacent to the aromatic ring. Theoretical calculations and an absorption spectroscopic study provided useful information concerning the microscopic nonlinearity of the chromophores. We investigated the electro-optic (EO) properties of the guest-host systems in amorphous polycarbonate containing the synthesized chromophores at different concentrations under different poling temperatures. A real-time pole and probe method provided a much greater amount of information regarding how the EO properties can arise and how they can be optimized.

  • Tricyanopyrrolidene chromophores were prepared in order to compare their macroscopic nonlinear optical (NLO) properties with a conjugated structure through the long molecular axis. A thiophene or phenyl ring was tethered to an ethylenic bond; it may act as a lateral moiety to disrupt the planarity of a chromophore and lessen the electrostatic interaction. Thin film composites of these chromophores dissolved in amorphous polycarbonate (APC) were fabricated. Real time pole and probe method was employed to investigate the change of electro-optic (EO) signal during poling. The EO properties and their relaxation behaviors of the guest-host systems containing newly synthesized chromophores were investigated in detail.

  • In recent years, the merging of nanomaterials and nano-technology into electro-optic (EO) device technology such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) has attracted much attention because of their unique electro- and magneto-optic properties and novel display applications. One example of hybrid LC-inorganic systems is semiconductor nanorods added to LC for their strong reorientation effect and tunable refractive index. Doping of nanoparticles in LC or polymers can lead to changes in performance characteristics such as electro-optical, dielectric, memory effect, phase behavior, etc. Due to the tunability of LCDs with mixed inorganic materials, low voltage operation of a LC system can also be achieved using the significant electro-optical effect achieved through suspension of ferroelectric nanoparticles in NLC.

  • Effects of liquid-crystal droplets size on electro-optical properties of the polymer dispersed liquid crystals are investigated experimentally The liquid crystal droplets size was varied by controlling the Laser power for phase separation and LC/oligomer composition ratio. Electro-optical switching voltage is dependent on the LC/oligomer composition ratio and liquid crystal droplet size. The experimental results showed droplet size will be small and saturation voltage is increased but rise time will be short at high power illumination laser light for phase separation.

  • The proton conserving effect of diffusion with self-aligned SiO2-cladding is investigated by infrared transmission spectra. Based on the proton conserving effect, proton-diffused channel waveguides with self-aligned SiO2-cladding substrates. And an electro-optic cutoff modulator with self aligned electrode that utilizes a single-mode proton-diffused channel waveguide in a Y-cut XX-propagating LiNbO3 substrate is fabricated. Over 20 dB extinction has been achieved with applied voltage of 15V.
