Abstract :
A technique is described for producing robust, low-loss waveguides from a wide range of organic nonlinear optical materials. The linear and nonlinear properties of waveguides produced by this solvent-assisted indiffusion process have been evaluated and intensity-dependent prism coupling demonstrated.
