Abstract

Optical waveguide devices for telecommunications and data communications require stable efficient coupling to optical fibers. The use of excimer laser ablative photodecomposition techniques to achieve this in a polymeric waveguide structure has been explored. One of the unique features of the polyguide acrylate photopolymerizable monomer system for creating waveguides, which has been described elsewhere, is that the photopolymerizable layers are directly laminated to a photolithographic mask to create waveguides on optical exposure. Before removing the layered polymeric films from the mask, excimer laser radiation is used to abiate grooves, which are photolithographically registered to the waveguides, for the 125-µm glass optical fibers.
