  1. Constant light input Optical data pulses Electro-optic waveguide Control Voltage Vc POLED SOL-GEL MATERIALS DOPED WITH PUSH-PULL CHROMOPHORES: NMP1-FP6 project Giovanna Brusatin, Gioia Della Giustina,Massimo Guglielmi Department of Mechanical Engineering– Materials Sector, University of Padova Mauro Casalboni, Fabio De Matteis Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Roma "Tor Vergata“ Massimiliano Dispenza, Anna Maria Fiorello, Mauro Varasi SELEX S.I., Roma - Finmeccanica – Roma Sigurd Schrader, Bernd Grimm University of Applied Sciences Wildau Engineering Physics Wildau The aim of the ODEON project is the development of innovative multifunctional nano-materials for optoelectronic devices. The research has been carried out by design, synthesis and fabrication of a demonstrator of an interferometric electro-optical modulator (Mach-Zender).

  2. Doping of hybrids sol-gel or polymer matrices Push-Pull Chromophores: Molecular hyperpolarizability (induced dipole moment by an external electric field) p=aE+bEE+gEEE+… Random orientation: cancellation of single contribution χ(2) = 0 Electric poling: the isolated molecule properties are transferred to the macroscopic materials Optical data pulses Lithographic process of active films: channel waveguides Control Voltage Vc Electro-optic waveguide Oriented dipoles: single contributions added as vectors χ(2) ≠ 0 light input Electro-Optical modulator: Oriented NL push pull organic dyes in hybrids sol-gel or polymer matrices

  3. Sol gel process Spacer: CbOH Chromophore: UAS HD-02 • The codoping with N-hydroxyethylcarbazole, CbOH, as physical spacer avoids dye aggregation • The covalent link of the chromophore by the epoxy-amino coupling reaction. Epoxy-amino coupling reaction Chromophores, Sol-gel precursors and Hybrid sol gel doped films

  4. Laser input SHsignal Example of NL coefficient measure and of the time stability of chromophore orientation in sol gel matrices; d33~ 11pm/V Horizontal corona poling at high T (~300°C); In situSHG measure l = 1368nm or 1600nm Films processes: Pretreatment and Poling

  5. Monitoring of the UAS HD-02 UV-vis absorption during thermal treatment in vacuum and poling in N2 90°C + 120°C 4h + Poling - absorptionremains intense at 120°C and after poling - CbOH is partially removed during the prebaking in vacuum and is totally removed after poling - under the electric field the inorganic crosslinking is completed - the thermal treatment produce a further organic condensation between epoxy and amine - the presence of amine determine basic catalysis of the sol and protection against photobleaching Large time stability of cromophores orientation Films processes: Pretreatment and Poling

  6. SOL-GEL NL FILM Optical data pulses Control Voltage Vc Electro-optic waveguide light input Light injection and light confinement by an Y-shaped optical fiber produced by direct patterning Lithographic process for a Y-shaped waveguide SEM microscopy images of a Y-branched waveguide patterned by traditional lithographic process (using RIE) on doped sol gel films
