Application of UV Cured Epoxy Resin to Polymeric Optical Waveguide Components

Abstract

Many polymeric optical waveguides have been studied for use in the field of optical interconnection [1-3] because they offer such advantages as routing flexibility, process compatibility with electronic devices, and mass productivity. In particular, their application to multimode optical waveguide devices in the 0.85 µm wavelength region is attractive because polymeric materials generally have low loss. We have already realized polymeric multimode optical devices for optical interconnection[4,5].
