  • Abstract
    A long-period waveguide grating in a polymer channel waveguide, which consisted of a benzocyclobutene core and an epoxy cladding, has been fabricated. By changing the stress in the waveguide through etching of the cladding width, a polarisation-insensitive resonance wavelength thermo-tunable from 1520 to 1610 nm with a temperature range of only 8°C was achieved.
