Investigation of a UV-laser generated planar polymeric waveguide directly and after five years of preparation using an interferometric method

Polymeric integrated-optical waveguides were prepared in a planar chip using UV-laser lithographic method. Five waveguide samples were irradiated by an excimer laser of wavelength 248 nm with different irradiation parameters (fluence and irradiation doses). Using Mach–Zehnder interferometer, the refractive index depth profiles of these samples are determined in two cases, directly and five years later of preparation. A crucial change of refractive indices profiles has been recorded after five years of preparation. In the first case we got double region waveguides fitted a Gaussian shape, while in the second one we observe a single region waveguide which has exponential shape. The photochemical reactions responsible for these changes in the two cases are demonstrated. This is quite important when such waveguides are used in the applications. Also it was interesting to investigate the aging impact on mode field distributions and the effective mode indices. The mode parameters are determined based on a theoretical model and the experimentally obtained data. The results show a notable change in the mode field distributions and the propagation coefficients as influence of aging.     

Mode field distribution of an integrated-optical waveguide generated by UV-laser radiation at the surface of a planar polymer chip

An integrated-optical strip-waveguide is directly written into the surface of a planar polymer substrate by an excimer laser beam. The mode field distribution, the surface refractive index and the refractive index depth profile of the waveguide have been examined. The intensity distribution of the mode field strongly depends on the refractive index depth profile, on the light coupling conditions and on the waveguide fabrication process parameters.

Dispersion characteristics of complex refractive-index planar slab optical waveguide by using finite element method

In this paper, finite element method (FEM) mode analyses of planar slab optical waveguide having complicated refractive index profile are presented. We try to estimate the dispersion graph, mode cut-off condition, group delay and waveguide dispersion for the case of α-power and chirped-type refractive index profile. In order to obtain the more accurate result, we have derived the higher-order polynomial, which establishes the suitable relationship between b and V for different profile of optical waveguide. On the basis of the derived polynomials, the waveguide dispersion is analyzed for different type of refractive index profile waveguide. Our study shows that the waveguide dispersion can be substantially reduced when we deployed the optical waveguide having linearly chirped-type refractive index profile. Earlier too, the arbitrary refractive index profile has been analyzed but to the best of our knowledge chirped-type refractive index profile has not been analyzed till date for the case of planar slab optical waveguide.

Investigation of grain boundary activity in nanocrystalline Al under an indenter by using a multiscale method

Grain boundary activity in nanocrystalline Al under an indenter is studied by using a multiscale method.It is found that grain boundaries and twin boundaries can be transformed into each other by emitting and absorbing dislocations.The transition processes might result in grain coarsening and refinement events.Dislocation reflection generated by a piece of stable grain boundary is also observed,because of the complex local atomic structure within the nanocrystalline Al.This implies that nanocrystalline metals might improve their internal structural stability with the help of some special local grain boundaries.
