A novel polymer optical waveguide switch has been fabricated which uses total internal reflection from a thermally induced index barrier created by a silver stripe heater. In this case, polyurethane with An of -3.3 X 10 C" was used for the switching layer and PMMA was used for the substrate and buffer layers. A small part of the polyurethane film was left uncovered by the PMMA buffer to allow for injection of 632.8 nm He-Ne laser light into a single-mode waveguide by means of a prism-...
