Planar polymer waveguides with a graded-index profile resulting from intermixing of methacrylates in closed microchannels
Graded-index waveguides are known to exhibit lower losses and considerably larger bandwidths compared to step-index waveguides. The present work reports on a new concept for realizing such waveguides on a planar substrate by capillary filling microchannels (cladding) with monomer solution (core). A...
