Pockels-Polymer Modulator Module for Silicon Photonics Foundries

A poled nonlinear-optical polymer film deposited on standard silicon wafers forms a low-voltage, ultrafast electro-optic modulator section, replacing the lossy silicon carrier-depletion modulator in 200G+ transceiver lanes and co-packaged optics. Sold as a foundry PDK/process module and as packaged modulator dies.
