Abstract

High-transparent Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 and (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 films, over 1 μm thick, which have acceptable transmittance loss for use as optical devices, were directly deposited on glass substrates by AD. We found the ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 film by AD produced a fairly high EO coefficient (>150 pm/V), approximately 10 times larger than that of LiNbO3. We developed a Fabry-Perot (FP) optical modulator with electro-optic films fabricated by AD. Transmittance spectra of the FP optical modulator coincided with the optical simulation spectra, which indicated that optical scattering in AD films and at the surface/boundary were very small. We demonstrated an optical intensity modulation with applied electric field to EO film of ferroelectric Pb (Zr, Ti)O3.
