Abstract :
A polymer optical chip consisting of 45??-angled cut straight waveguides, Y-splitters, and S-bend waveguides was designed and fabricated to examine a simple evaluation of multimode waveguides. Appropriate input condition was investigated for standardization of an evaluation method of optical characteristics of multimode waveguides.
