A novel high-speed polymeric EO modulator based on a combination of a microring resonator and an MZI [PDF]
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an electrooptic polymer mircroring resonator adjacent to one of its branches is realized in a polymer layer stack. The microresonator is defined by reactive ion etching in the nonlinear PMMA-DR1 polymer and waveguide ...

Waveguide Propagation of Light in Polymer Porous Films Filled with Nematic Liquid Crystals
We theoretically analyze the waveguide regime of light propagation in a cylindrical pore of a polymer matrix filled with liquid crystals assuming that the effective radial optical anisotropy is biaxial. From numerical analysis of the dispersion relations,

Dispersion Engineering of Silicon Nitride Microresonators via Reconstructable SU-8 Polymer Cladding
In this work, we propose a novel way to flexibly engineer the waveguide dispersion by patterning the cladding of waveguide microresonators. Experimentally, we demonstrate silicon nitride waveguides with air-, oxide-, and SU-8 polymer-cladding layers and ...

Flexible dispersion engineering using polymer patterning in nanophotonic waveguides
We demonstrate the engineering of waveguide dispersion by lithographically patterning the polymer cladding on silicon nitride waveguide resonators. Both normal and anomalous dispersion, ranging from − 462 to 409 ps/nm/km, can be achieved for the same ...

Hybrid polymer-titania waveguides for highly integrated circuits [PDF]
We present an innovative waveguide based on the hybridization of a titanium dioxide nano-waveguide within a polymer strip. Through simulations and design we demonstrate that the waveguide sustains principally the quasi-TM fundamental mode and that even ...
