OPTICAL POLYMER BLENDS WITH ADJUSTABLE REFRACTIVE INDEX AND OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES USING SAME

摘要

A polymer blend is provided. The blend includes poly[2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5­difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene] and poly[2,2,4-trifluoro-5-trifluoromethoxy-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene]. A method of manufacturing the blend is also provided. An optical waveguide (10) and a method of fabricating the optical waveguide (40) using the polymer blend are also provided.
