    Silicon-organic hybrid photonics: Overview of recent advances, electro-optical effects and CMOS-integration concepts
    (Bristol : IOP Publishing, 2021) Steglich, Patrick; Mai, Christian; Villringer, Claus; Dietzel, Birgit; Bondarenko, Siegfried; Ksianzou, Viachaslau; Villasmunta, Francesco; Zesch, Christoph; Pulwer, Silvio; Burger, Martin; Bauer, Joachim; Heinrich, Friedhelm; Schrader, Sigurd; Vitale, Francesco; De Matteis, Fabio; Prosposito, Paolo; Casalboni, Mauro; Mai, Andreas
    In recent decades, much research effort has been invested in the development of photonic integrated circuits, and silicon-on-insulator technology has been established as a reliable platform for highly scalable silicon-based electro-optical modulators. However, the performance of such devices is restricted by the inherent material properties of silicon. An approach to overcoming these deficiencies is to integrate organic materials with exceptionally high optical nonlinearities into a silicon-on-insulator photonic platform. Silicon–organic hybrid photonics has been shown to overcome the drawbacks of silicon-based modulators in terms of operating speed, bandwidth, and energy consumption. This work reviews recent advances in silicon–organic hybrid photonics and covers the latest improvements to single components and device concepts. Special emphasis is given to the in-device performance of novel electro-optical polymers and the use of different electro-optical effects, such as the linear and quadratic electro-optical effect, as well as the electric-field-induced linear electro-optical effect. Finally, the inherent challenges of implementing non-linear optical polymers on a silicon photonic platform are discussed and a perspective for future directions is given.

    Novel UV-transparent 2-component polyurethane resin for chip-on-board LED micro lenses
    (Washington, DC : OSA, 2020) Bauer, Joachim; Gutke, Marko; Heinrich, Friedhelm; Edling, Matthias; Stoycheva, Vesela; Kaltenbach, Alexander; Burkhardt, Martin; Gruenefeld, Martin; Gamp, Matthias; Gerhard, Christoph; Steglich, Patrick; Steffen, Sebastian; Herzog, Michael; Dreyer, Christian; Schrader, Sigurd
    In this work we present a novel optical polymer system based on polyurethane elastomer components, which combines excellent UV transparency with high thermal stability, good hardness, high surface tension and long pot life. The material looks very promising for encapsulation and microlensing applications for chip-on-board (CoB) light-emitting diodes (LED). The extinction coefficient k, refractive index n, and bandgap parameters were derived from transmission and reflection measurements in a wavelength range of 200-890 nm. Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry were used to provide glass transition and degradation temperatures. The surface tension was determined by means of contact angle measurements. As proof of concept, a commercial InGaN-CoB-LED is used to demonstrate the suitability of the new material for the production of microlenses. © 2020 Optical Society of America.
