Abstract
Future avionics data links will require active couplers to achieve smart processing. This effort reports progress toward achieving smart processing in composite-embedded avionics data links. The specific objective is to develop a symmetric evanescent coupler which achieves electronic switching by means of a poled electro-optic polymer.
