~ Low cost and energy saving communication device ~

point

Polymer optical modulators are expected as ultrahigh-speed optical communication devices in the era of data explosion, but there was a problem with reliability.

We have fabricated optical modulators with new electro-optic polymers and succeeded in ultrahigh-speed optical data transmission.

We realized device heat stabilization and drive at low voltage.

It is expected to be used in the field of communication devices where energy saving and cost reduction are desired.
