Abstract :
Experimental studies of the photobleaching technique is reported in the case of spin coated films of poly-3BCMU. This technique was utilized to fabricate tapered waveguides, gratings and waveguide lenses. The authors´ results confirm the potential of photobleaching for polymer based nonlinear integrated optics
