Vertically integrated polymer device

The v cal integrated polymer device fabricated was a vartically stacked ED-polymer directional coupler (27). The nonlinear optical matmal used was a bisazo-dye functionalized EO polymer, 3RDCVXY. A standard REB process was used to fabricate the hybrid waveguides. Using die vertically stacked directional coupler, optical coupling similar to that of in-plane directional coupler was attained.
