Abstract
A nanocomposite optical modulator device comprising an optically transparent electro-optic region. The electro-optic region exhibiting second-order optical nonlinearity properties. The nanocomposite optical modulator further comprises one or more dielectric layers, with at least one of the dielectric in contact with the electro-optic region, one or more electrodes in proximity to the electro-optic region. Wherein at least one of the aforementioned elements is nanocomposite material with nanoparticle loading from about 0.25% to about 70% volume.
