With fiber optical telecommunication systems penetrating into metropolitan and access networks, planar waveguide technology is increasingly being considered a solution to the bottleneck of cost-effective manufacture of passive components. Being recognized for their high thermo-optical coefficients, ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with other materials, polymers as a platform technology for waveguide devices are gaining more and more commercial acceptance. Fully exploiting the potentials of the polymeric materials demands comprehensive understanding of both the specific device applications and various polymer systems. The right choice of materials is often the key to the success of component development. Unfortunately, since extensive study of polymeric materials and devices operating at 1.55 m began just recently, few ideal materials have so far been made commercially available. From the polymer chemistry point of view, it is possible to tailor the materials to meet specific and strict requirements for optical waveguide devices. This is a review of the most promising fluorinated polymers and silicone resins and their demonstrated device applications. The paper is designed to provide a guide to both polymer scientists who want to develop novel high-performance materials for waveguide applications, and optical engineers who need to gain insight into the materials.

“…Overall, optical waveguides produced a 5:1 signal advantage over electronics. [33] While there are still a number of obstacles to overcome before widespread commercial acceptance is achieved, polymeric waveguide technology continues to show promise in ultimately contributing to cost-effective solutions to the increasing demands of data and telecommunication.…”
