"We expect to see UD develop into a center of excellence in photonics"

Schweet. I have to believe that Hochberg and LWLG are well aware of each other.

Both Hochberg and Prather (mentioned in the newsletter) have both worked with NLO polymers.


Hochberg:
"Terahertz All-Optical Modulation in a Silicon-Polymer Hybrid System"
http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0606/0606244.pdf

Prather:
"Ultrabroadband Electro-Optic Modulator Based on Hybrid Silicon-Polymer Dual Vertical Slot Waveguide"

Recently, tremendous efforts have gone into the development and optimization of organic EO polymers. State-of-the-art nonlinear electrooptic polymers have been reported to have an EO coefficient
of r33 = 100 pm/V or higher [8–14], which is nearly an order
of magnitude higher than the crystalline LiNbO3 and two
orders of magnitude higher than most III-V materials. With
the recent breakthroughs in silicon photonics, specifically
vertical and horizontal slot waveguides [15, 16], the silicon
organic hybrid represents a tremendous opportunity to
develop highly sensitive devices for an array of photonics
applications
