Abstract
Recently the technique of fabricating organic polymer thin files using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was proposed. If polymerization of nonlinear optical (NLO) molecules is performed under an electric field near room temperature using CVD, high molecular alignment can be expected because obstacles to molecular movement are reduced and thermal disturbance is low. Moreover, channel waveguides form automatically in polymer films with a high glass transition temperature (Tg). In this paper we report on the fabrication of an electro-optic (EO) epoxyamine polymer channel waveguide using CVD assisted by an electric field (E-CVD).
