Capped Optical Polymeric Waveguide
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here a new type of polymer waveguides (i.e., capped waveguide) fabricated using contact photolithography with considerable performance improvement over the conventional waveguides. We also show that by simultaneous patterning of the core and the top cladding in capped waveguides, we can considerably reduce the effect of fabrication defects and reduce the propagation lose by at least 20% compared to conventional waveguides.

Polymeric waveguide Bragg grating filter using soft lithography.
We use the soft lithography technique to fabricate a polymeric waveguide Bragg grating filter. Master grating structure is patterned by e-beam lithography. Using an elastomeric stamp and capillary action, uniform grating structures with very thin residual layers are transferred to the UV curable polymer without the use of an imprint machine. The waveguide layer based on BCB optical polymer is f...

متن کاملDependence of Optical and Microstructure Properties of Thiol-Capped Silver Nanoparticles Embedded in Polymeric Matrix
Thiol-capped silver nanoparticles were prepared by in situ thermal decomposition of different silver(I)-thiolates precursors in a polymeric matrix. Depending on the structure of the organic coating, contact-free distribution of metal nanoparticles or nanoparticles aggregates were achieved. The structure and morphology of nanocomposites was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and...
متن کاملHighly flexible polymeric optical waveguide for out-of-plane optical interconnects.
In this paper, we reported high speed optical test on polymeric optical waveguide array with embedded 45 masculine micro-mirrors on flexible substrate for out-of-plane optical interconnects. The waveguide array was bent with curvature ranging from 61 mm to 5mm. As the bending radius decreases, the average insertion loss increases from 3.4 dB to 7.7 dB for single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling and fr...
