Abstract:

In this paper the possibility of using the novel polymeric photosensitive medium for the fabrication of integrated optics elements was demonstrated. The medium is based on PMMA doped by beta-diketonatoboron difluorides. Planar and strip waveguides with the attenuation losses less than 1.8 dB/cm were fabricated in the layer of the medium. The photoinduced recording of the diffraction grating with the spatial frequency up to 3000 mm-1 and diffraction efficiency ~5% in such waveguides was demonstrated. The possibility to improve the diffraction efficiency of recorded gratings up to 51% by chemical treatment was demonstrated.
