摘要
Polymeric single mode optical waveguides based on a new kind of negative tone epoxy novolak resin (ENR) polymer have been fabricated using electron beam direct writing. This polymer has a high refractive index, high sensitivity and high glass transition temperature (Tg). Constrast curves and saturation dosages of the polymer on different substrate materials were obtained, and the sensitivity of ENR is found to be over a hundred times larger than that of Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA). For single mode channel waveguides with upper claddings, the propagation losses measured were 0.22dB/cm and 0.48dB/cm at 1330nm and 1550nm for TM mode, and 0.9dB/cm and 1.2dB/cm for TE mode, respectively.
