Design Of Low Insertion Loss, Single-Mode Polymeric Waveguides

US Patent:
6487354, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
May 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/846699
Inventors:
Paul M. Ferm - Morristown NJ
Kevin Battell - Emerson NJ
Lawrence W. Shacklette - Maplewood NJ
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
G02B 610
US Classification:
385129, 385131
Abstract:
The invention provides organic optical waveguide devices which are lithographically formed and employ polymeric materials having low propagation loss. An optical waveguide has a substrate; a polymeric buffer layer on a surface of the substrate; a thin, polymeric undercladding layer on a surface of the buffer layer; a pattern of a light-transmissive, polymeric core on the surface of the undercladding layer; and a polymeric overcladding layer on a top surface of the core and on sidewalls of the core and on a portion of the undercladding layer; the undercladding layer having a thickness of from about 10 percent to about 50 percent a thickness of the core. The core has an index of refraction n which is greater than an index of refraction of the overcladding layer n and also greater than an index of refraction of the undercladding layer n ; wherein n=n -n , and wherein the difference between n and the index of refraction of the buffer n is at least about 1. 5 times n.

Assignee:
E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
G02B 6/10
US Classification:
430321, 385130
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process a process for forming single-mode, organic waveguides employing organic polymeric materials. The process reduces dissolved and gaseous oxygen content to very low quantities, resulting in production of waveguides having superior properties and manufacturability. Also provided is a process for preventing loss of light due to cores having flared ends. A waveguide is produced by sequentially a layer of a liquid, photosensitive buffer and clad composition to a surface of a substrate; deoxygenating under vacuum; overall exposing under an inert gas actinic radiation to partially polymerize the compositions below a full curing. Coating a photosensitive core composition to the clad composition; deoxygenating under vacuum, covering with an inert gas atmosphere; positioning a photomask above, but not in contact with the core layer; imagewise exposing the core through a photomask pattern to actinic radiation to partially polymerize the core composition; developing core; coating a photosensitive overclad composition over the image areas of the core composition; deoxygenating under vacuum; overall exposing the overclad composition, under inert gas to actinic radiation to substantially fully cure the optional buffer composition, the underclad composition, the core composition and the clad composition.

Polarizer With An Array Of Tapered Waveguides

US Patent:
55217265, May 28, 1996
Filed:
Aug 26, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/296569
Inventors:
Scott Zimmerman - Basking Ridge NJ
Paul Ferm - Morristown NJ
Lawrence Shacklette - Maplewood NJ
Michael McFarland - Washington NJ
Assignee:
AlliedSignal Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G02F 11335
US Classification:
359 42
Abstract:
The present invention includes a polarizer element and an array of tapered waveguides in substantial contact with the polarizer element. The tapered end of each of the waveguides extends outward from the polarizer element. Each of the waveguides has a light input surface adjacent the polarizer element and a light output surface distal from the light input surface. The area of the light input surface of each of the waveguides is greater than the area of its light output surface. Also, the waveguides in the array are separated by interstitial regions with a lower refractive index than the refractive index of the waveguides. The present improved polarizer may be used in display devices, such as projection display devices, off screen display devices, and direct view displays. Such displays are used in a wide range of applications including computer terminals, airplane cockpit displays, automotive instrument panels, televisions, and other devices that provide text, graphics, or video information.
