Abstract
Organic electro-optic (EO) polymers have attracted much attention to their potential use of the optical interconnection for faster data communication. Photochemical stability is a crucial problem to be solved for using in commercial systems. We investigated the photochemical stability of the EO polymers under irradiation of a laser at the O-band (1310 nm) to reveal the factors of photodegradation and to obtain a good estimate for the operating lifetime of the devices. Based on the results obtained, we will discuss the effects of excited singlet oxygen on the photochemical stability of the EO polymers.
