The fabrication of high‐performance polymeric optical devices is demonstrated using multiphoton absorption polymerization (MAP). Supported waveguides with micrometer‐scale diameters sustain high‐quality modes with low loss. The performance of microring resonators created with MAP is comparable to that of devices created using more conventional lithographic techniques, but opens the door to the creation of devices with unique architectures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
