Fabrication of planar optical waveguides by electrical microcontact printing

Fabrication of planar optical waveguides by electrical microcontact printing

We describe the fabrication by electrical microcontact printing of optical waveguides and splitters made of poly(4-vinylphenol) doped with phloxine B, permitting inexpensive, rapid prototyping over large areas and construction of integrated, multi-level devices.
