Curing Methods Yield Multiple Refractive Index of Benzocyclobutene Polymer Film
نویسنده
چکیده
Refractive index control of benzocyclobutene (BCB 4024-40) is achieved by facilitating different conditions during the thermal curing of BCB film. Refractive index (RI) change of 1.49% is obtained with curing of BCB film using an oven, while the RI change is 0.1% when the BCB is cured using a hotplate. The two different curing methods exhibit a temperature dependent refractive index change of the BCB photosensitive polymer. By carefully controlling the curing conditions, multiple layers of BCB with different RI can be fabricated, which can then be applied in the fabrication of optical waveguides. Keywords—BCB 4024-40, curing method, multiple refractive index, polymers.

متن کاملAnalyzing refractive index profiles of confined fluids by interferometry.
This work describes an interferometry data analysis method for determining the optical thickness of thin films or any variation in the refractive index of a fluid or film near a surface. In particular, the method described is applied to the analysis of interferometry data taken with a surface force apparatus (SFA). The technique does not require contacting or confining the fluid or film. By ana...
