Fabrication of LD-3 Polymer Directional Couplers

Abstract

LD-3 polymer directional couplers have the potential use as low-voltage modulators and switches. They can be integrated into module-to-module systems using currently available VLSI fabrication techniques. Modes of channel waveguides arc calculated and coupling lengths are determined using BPM_CAD. LD-3 polymer directional couplers arc designed and fabricated to operate at 1.3 microns. Waveguide propagation losses, device characterization, demonstration of cross coupling and packaged device pictures are presented in this final report.
