摘　　要：研究了交联型聚氨酯材料集成衰减全反射型双通道聚合物波导电光调制器的制备和性能。这种电光调制器的制备技术非常简单,只要用两个分立的下电极代替单通道调制器中的下电极即可。通过测量器件的调制特性,在832 nm波长下,获得了最大电光系数为24.2 Pm/V,调制带宽约为500 MHz、插入损耗低于1.5 dB。由于器件上下电极的垂直距离为微米级、而通道之间的水平距离为毫米量级的设计,使各通道之间的场不会引起相互交迭,因而未测到各通道间的串扰。另外,热交联型聚合物材料的采用提高了整个器件的热稳定性,在100℃经过800 h后,电光系数仍然保持初值的88%。The fabrication and characteristics of a polymeric electro-optic modulator with double channels in attenuated total reflection （ATR） configuration, made of a thermally crosslinkable polyurethane, has been investigated. The fabrication procedure of proposed double-channel ATR modulator is extremely simple, it can be implemented by replacing a single electrode with two discrete electrodes in a single channel ATR modulator. Working at 832 nm, a double polarization modulator is demonstrated with the electro-optical coefficient of 24.2 Pm/V, an independent operation modulation speed of 500 MHz and low insertion losses of below 1. 5 dB by measuring polarization modulation of the poled devices. There is no measurable cross talks due to the large horizontal separation of two channels and the small vertical separation of the electrode pair. A long-term thermal stability of the fabrication modulator at an elevated temperature, 100 ℃ , is obtained due to cross-linking polyurethane as the waveguide layer of the devices.
