Abstract

An organometallic polymer and a conventional epoxy material are combined to form a hybrid for high index contrast optical waveguide devices. When cured at elevated temperatures, the organometallic polymer decomposes to form a high index polymer film of waveguide structure. These hybrid high refractive index films are stable enough for photolithographic patterning of optical waveguide structure.
