3. Polymer-based modulators

3.1 Organic materials for photonics: general context

In the field of optical fibers, multimode plastic optical fiber with index hopping or graded index has been manufactured since the 1970s . With transparency windows at 850, 670 and 530 nm, this type of optical fiber is compatible with silicon photodetectors and silica or polymer optical waveguide circuits. This optical fiber has applications in data transmission, such as short-range links for digital homes and automotive control systems
