Abstract
We designed and realized multimode polymer optical waveguides on the chips. They
were fundamental functional structures and we fabricated them by using simple
techniques. We have developed new approach that is simple and nondestructive for
multimode polymer optical waveguide evaluations. We examined reliability of the proposed
approach by measuring the optical parameters of the realized devices. We have also
evaluated the modes distribution affected by inserting additional fibers to the input
launch configurations. We realized an optimal-filled input launch by implementing the
encircled flux (EF) category for 50 μm core GI input fiber proposed by the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). We are successful to achieve
insertion loss (IL) variation of less than 5% for the waveguides fabricated on top of
different substrates.
