Claim:
1. A system for transmitting RF signals, said system comprising: an electro-optic modulator for side conduction of voltage, said modulator comprising an optical waveguide component comprising an organic core component and a cladding component below said core component and optically coupled to said core component, said core component connected to opposed metallic electrode components, each said connection with a laterally-extending transparent conducting oxide electrode bridge component, said cladding consisting of bottom and lateral components said bottom cladding component configured to provide a recess and said lateral components, said core component positioned in said recess between said lateral components and each said opposed metallic electrode laterally disposed from said recess, said waveguide component providing optical mode confinement in the horizontal direction; and a switching voltage applied across said core component with said laterally-extending transparent conducting oxide bridge components.
