Vacuum-tuned graded-index polymer waveguides on silicon substrates.
A new method for producing graded-index (GRIN) profiles on type A photolime gel-based polymer waveguides with vacuum drying is demonstrated. Vacuum drying allows optical waveguides to be built on substrates with a higher index of refraction without intermediate lower-index cladding layers while keeping the concentration of various dopants unperturbed. The waveguide-loss and GRIN profiles were c...
متن کاملSmooth end face termination of microstructured, graded-index, and step-index polymer optical fibers.
A new technique, based on a partially automated process, for smooth end face termination of three types of plastic optical fibers (microstructured, graded-index, and step-index) is presented. The cross-sectional shape of the fibers is preserved, and the structure in microstructured plastic optical fibers (POFs) is of good quality, showing no plastic deformations. The termination is achieved in ...
متن کاملLow-Loss, Single-Mode, Organic Polymer Waveguides Utilizing Refractive Index Tailoring
Low-loss, single-mode optical waveguides have been fabricated from photopolymerizable acrylic monomers. The material system consists of a low-index cladding resin and a highindex core resin. The two resins are miscible so that precise control over the refractive index can be obtained. This allows the fabrication of single-mode waveguides with specific crosssectional dimensions. One advantage of...
متن کاملGraded-Index Polymer Optical Fiber (GI-POF)
Plastic Optical Fiber Perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (GI-POFs) combine high data transmission rates and low attenuation in the commercially desirable 850–1300nm range. GI-POFs offer a direct replacement and a low cost alternative to traditional glass. With ease of use and affordability, GI-POFs make an excellent choice for the installation of high performance fiber networks....
متن کاملBoard-Level Single-mode Polymer Optical Waveguides
In optical interconnects, there is an increasing discrepancy between current proposals for optical backplanes, which strongly focus on multimodal waveguides, and those for very high capacity transmitter and receiver modules being realized in silicon photonics, which focus on single mode transmission systems. In this paper we present a boardlevel single mode polymer optical waveguide technology ...
