Abstract
The primary routes for creating polymeric channel waveguides are reviewed. Processes, materials, waveguide performance, and applications recently reported in the literature are covered. Emphasis is on an internal diffusion approach under development at Du Pont which has not been widely reported. The intent is to provide a perspective on the flexibility and versatility for fabricating polymer channel waveguides for practical integrated optic applications
