| Popis: |
A method based on the photographic recording of the power distribution laterally diffused by cationic-network (CN) hydrogel waveguides is first checked against the well-established cut-back method and then used to determine the different contributions to optical power attenuation along the hydrogel-based waveguide. Absorption and scattering loss coefficients are determined for 450 nm, 532 nm and 633 nm excitation. The excellent optical loss values obtained (0.32–1.95 dB/cm), similar to others previously described, indicate their potential application as waveguides in different fields, including soft robotic and light-based therapies. |
