Abstract
The invention provides organic optical waveguide devices which employ perfluoropolymeric materials having low optical loss and low birefringence. An optical element has a substrate; a patterned, light transmissive perfluoropolymer core composition; and a light reflecting cladding composition on the pattern of the core. Writing of high-efficiency waveguide gratings is also disclosed.
Claims11
A composition comprising:
- a) a first photocurable multifunctional perfluorinated compound having a first functionality;
- b) a second photocurable multifunctional perfluorinated compound having a second functionality, wherein the difference between said second functionality and said first functionality is at least one;
- and
- an effective amount of a photoinitiator to generate photopolymerization.
