TLDR
In this article, the first observation of optical cutoff in thin-film waveguides was reported, which is controlled through the electro-optic effect by applying an electric field across the epitaxial layer.
Abstract: 
The first observation of optical cutoff in thin‐film waveguides is reported. The waveguides consist of thin (∼10μ) epitaxial layers of high‐resistivity GaAs deposited on lower‐resistivity GaAs substrates. The optical cutoff is controlled through the electro‐optic effect by applying an electric field across the epitaxial layer.

P. K. Tien
- 01 Nov 1971 - 
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to review in some detail the important development of this new and fascinating field, and to caution the reader that the technology involved is difficult because of the smallness and perfection demanded by thin-film optical devices.

GaAs electro‐optic directional‐coupler switch

Joe C. Campbell, +3 more
- 15 Aug 1975 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the fabrication and testing of a GaAs electro-optic directional-coupler (EDC) switch in which the fraction of light coupled from one waveguide channel to the other can be controlled by an applied electric field.

Electro-Optical Effect of Zincblende

Susumu Namba
- 01 Jan 1961 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the electro-optical coefficient of zincblende is measured by using the Senarmont compensator method for various wavelengths between 404 and 644 mμ and the application of the crystal to light modulator of wide optical aperture is discussed.

OBSERVATION OF THE DIELECTRIC‐WAVEGUIDE MODE OF LIGHT PROPAGATION IN p‐n JUNCTIONS

W. L. Bond, +3 more
- 01 Feb 1963 - 
TL;DR: Theoretical considerations of the propagation of electromagnetic energy near a p-n junction (1) show that the "sandwich" formed by having a depletion layer bounded by the p and n regions can act as a dielectric waveguide as mentioned in this paper.
