Abstract
A novel waveguide concept is presented, which is applicable to a multi tude of optical polymers. It allows for singlemode single polymer wave guides with large cross-sections, despite considerable index differenc es between core and cladding layers. Results of waveguides fabricated from a commercially available, high temperature stable polymer (T-g > 350 degrees C) are presented, indicating losses of below 0.5dB/cm at 1 .3 mu m.
