Continuous-wave Lasers in Polymer waveguides
نویسنده
چکیده
Channel waveguides based on a polymer, 6fluorinated-dianhydride/epoxy, which is actively doped with a rare-earth-ion-doped complex, Nd(thenoyltrifluoroacetone)3 1,10-phenanthroline, have been fabricated. Photoluminescence peaks at 880 nm, 1060 nm, and 1330 nm have been experimentally observed. By optimization of the fabrication procedure of both, host material and optical structure, continuous-wave laser operation on both, the four-level and quasi-three-level transitions near 1060 nm and 880 nm, respectively, has been demonstrated in channel waveguides. Keywords-photodefined polymer, organic complex, neodymium, polymer waveguide laser, continuous-wave polymer laser

متن کاملRight choice for optical bus interconnect: metallic-hollow-core- waveguides or multimode polymer waveguides?
The performance of metallic-hollow-core-waveguides (MHCWs) and multimode polymer waveguides (MMPWs) are numerically evaluated using ray-tracing method for complex board level optical interconnects systems such as optical bus. Based on an ideal model neglecting the wave-guide surface roughness, we find that MHCWs will provide lower optical loss for small curvature bending waveguides, 45 deg micr...

Three-dimensional direct-write lithography can be used to pattern waveguides into diffusion photopolymer using low-power CW lasers as an alternative to femtosecond writing in glass. We show that polymer chemistry permits significant control of waveguide shape. © 2005, Optical Society of America OCIS Codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices, (160.2900) Holographic recording materials, (130.31...
