Optically nonlinear side chain polymers exhibiting attractive processing properties have been developed and produced on kilogram scale. By spin coating and/or dipping, multilayer structures, including a substrate, patterned electrodes, waveguiding core, and optical cladding layers, have been made. These multilayers show good optical waveguiding properties with propagation losses of less than 1 dB/cm at 1.3-μm wavelength. By applying a novel bleaching technique, we have realized monomode channel waveguides of high optical quality. The thicknesses of the various polymer layers in the multilayer structures are in the range 1–4μm. |
