Optical waveguide forming resin

Contact us

Because it is an ultraviolet curable resin, it is possible to fabricate waveguides by various methods.

  • direct exposure method
  • RIE method
  • Stamper method

Feature

  • Refractive index can be specified in increments of 0.001
  • excellent light transmission
  • Viscosity can be adjusted, and film thickness controllability during spin coating is good.
  • Refractive index can be controlled in the range of 1.43 to 1.62 with an accuracy of ±0.005

[Example of application] Cladding of optical waveguide

It has excellent flatness and refractive index matching, and is also available in a solder heat resistant grade, so it can also be applied to interlayer insulating films.
