Abstract :
We present the design and fabrication of a polymer waveguide resonator made up of ID distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) with air and polymer alternating layers. Simulation is done by 3D FDTD and BPM simulations. The optimization of the polymer ridge waveguide, the reflectance of DBR mirrors and the characteristics of the cavity are shown. A microcavity with quality factor Q-2000 and length Khun can be achieved at resonant wavelength 1.55 um. Initial fabrication results using direct electron-beam lithography are demonstrated.
