摘要：

Traveling-wave electro-optic modulators based on chromophoric self-assembled superlattices (SASs) possessing intrinsically polar microstructures have been designed and fabricated. Although the thickness of the SAS layer is only similar to 150 nm, a pi -phase shift is clearly observed. From the measured V-pi value, the effective electro-optic coefficient of the SAS film is determined to be similar to 21.8 pm/V at an input wavelength of 1064 nm.
