  • Abstract
    A channel waveguide ring resonator was successfully fabricated using polymers synthesized from deuterated methacrylate and deuterated fluoromethacrylate. Resonance curves with a finesse of 14.8 and an extinction ratio of 0.83 were obtained at a wavelength of 1.3 mu m. The corresponding waveguide loss was estimated to be 0.10 dB/cm. In addition, the temperature and polarisation characteristics of the resonance were investigated.
