BMWi gefördertes FuE-Vorhaben Polina
The aim of the Polina project is to fabricate integrated optical waveguides on the base of new photo re active epoxy-polymers. Polymer waveguides seam to be well suitable for the realization of optical receiver components that are needed in 100 Gigabit Ethernet, since they fulfil several important requirements: Firstly the materials allow an almost lossless and tolerant coupling to a SMF. Secondly the materials are cheap and simple to produce and last the so fabricated waveguides should all ow a thermal control of the optical phase respectively the relative refractive index in an interferometer structure.
