Abstract :
Incorporation of small particles in polymer increases resulting refraction index. Waveguides form such material may be effectively coupled with photoconductive antennas. Refraction index as well as scattering losses of Si nano and micro particles in polystyrene matrix are experimentally studied. Fibers and structured waveguides are suggested.
