Looking at the text along with the figures, on figures 8A and 8B, which show 'prior art' (current technology), the voltage is 0.5V with an added rf driver.

Figures 9A/9B show LWLG's patented modulator, also with 0.5V, with no rf driver. The text describing this figure (page 21, paragraph 0043) states:

... an rf modulation signal 25 of approximately
0.5V, and generally in a range of 0.2V to 0.5V, is applied
directly to one end of U-shaped electrode 22 and the other
end is connected through a 50 ohm termination 26 to ground.
Similarly, an rf modulation signal 25' of approximately 0.5V
is applied directly to one end of U-shaped electrode 22' and
the other end is connected through a 50-ohm termination 26'
to ground. Thus, two examples of direct-drive polymer
modulators (DDPM) are illustrated in FIGS. 9A and 98. In
this preferred embodiment, each of modulators 20 and 20'
use an EO polymer with an r33 >250 pm/V and generally in
a range of 250 pm/V to 750 pm/V.

It references voltages of 0.5 or less. Also, I've never seen r33 values of up to 750 pm/V referenced before.

I can't provide any additional insight to what these statements means, but they seem to point to lower voltages and higher r33 values than have been publicly stated.

In other words, lower power/higher signal.

Additional information from those who better understand this would be appreciated.
