Abstract

LD-3 polymer directional couplers have the potential use as low-voltage modulators and switches. They can be integrated into module-to-module systems using currently available VLSI fabrication techniques. Modes of channel waveguides are calculated and coupling lengths are determined using BPM_CAD. We report the fabrication of LD-3 polymer directional couplers designed to operate at 1.3 micrometers .
