ABSTRACT:
Electro-optic modulator comprises a substrate having an epitaxial, preferentially oriented, low scattering loss thin ferroelectric film waveguide deposited by metalorganic chemcial vapor deposition on the substrate, and first and second strip electrodes on the waveguide with the electrodes spaced apart to establish an electric field effective to render the waveguide modulating to light in response to applied bias or voltage.
