Abstract :
Very low loss multimode polymeric optical waveguides were fabricated on a 4 inch silicon substrate. Deuterated poly-methylmethacrylate was used as the core and UV curable epoxy resin as the cladding. The propagation losses of the waveguides were <0.02 dB/cm at both 0.68 and 0.83 μm, and 0.07 dB/cm at 1.31 μm
