FABRICATION FOR UNIFORM PLANAR WAVEGUIDE
A uniform planar optical waveguide is made by (a) depositing a lower cladding layer 402 on a substrate 400 and polishing the deposited surface; (b) depositing a core layer on the resultant structure of the step (a) and polishing the deposited surface; (c) patterning the core layer whose surface is p...

Zusammenfassung: | A uniform planar optical waveguide is made by (a) depositing a lower cladding layer 402 on a substrate 400 and polishing the deposited surface; (b) depositing a core layer on the resultant structure of the step (a) and polishing the deposited surface; (c) patterning the core layer whose surface is polished in the step (b), to generate an optical waveguide; and (d) depositing an upper cladding layer on the optical waveguide formed through the patterning of the step (c). In the case of an arrayed waveguide demultiplexer (AWG DEMUX), the phase difference at each channel matches the intended value, thereby decreasing crosstalk. |
