摘要：

An electro-optic polymer Mach-Zender modulator based on thermal biasing is proposed and demonstrated. The bias point of the modulator is controlled through the thermo-optic effect. Biasing is achieved by thermally changing the optical path length of one arm of the Mach-Zender interferometer. Tuning of bias points is realized by applying an electrical power of only 14 mW. It is verified that this approach is stable and substantially dc-drift free. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
