Abstract
A commercially attractive arrangement for monolithic integration of a nonlinear optical polymer transverse electro-optic device on an electronic integrated circuit chip. The invention provides for conductive polymer cladding layers immediately adjacent to an optical signal transmitting nonlinear optical polymer core layer. The cladding layers result in a reduced core layer poling voltage, reduced device length, and 5 VDC or less controlling voltage, allowing inclusion into electronic integrated circuit chips of a size compatible with multichip module integration.
