| Abstract: | The experimental results of a polymer microwave electro-optic antenna are reported. The device amplitude-modulates an optical input beam with a free-space propagating electromagnetic wave. By using a new dipole printed antenna, the electromagnetic energy is concentrated inside the device. An antenna factor of 168 dB/m is achieved with only 1 mum of electro-optic polymer |
