A polymer that includes a constitutional unit contributed by (a) a first monomer comprising a halocatechol diacrylate, a halocatechol diacrylate, a haloresorcinol diacrylate, or a halohydroquinone diacrylate, and (b) a second monomer comprising a charge transporting moiety.

Crosslinked polymers with low loss and tunable refractive indices

A process that includes (a) providing a mixture including i) a halocatechol diacrylate, a haloresorcinol diacrylate, or a halohydroquinone diacrylate component, ii) a charge transporting component having a radical polymerizable group, and iii) a radical initiator and b) initiating a radical polymerization.

Process of preparing crosslinked, low loss polymers with tunable refractive indices

Optical waveguide devices that include a polymer clad and a polymer core where the clad includes constitutional units contributed by (a) a monomer selected from the group consisting of a halocatechol diacrylate, a haloresorcinol diacrylate, and a haldhydroquinone diacrylate, and/or (b) a charge transport moiety.

Waveguide devices with low loss clads and tunable refractive indices

A process, comprising: a) reacting a an alkoxysilane, an (epoxy)alkoxysilane, and a fluorinated alkoxysilane to form a fluorinated sol-gel polymer; and b) reacting a nonlinear optical chromophore comprising a donor, a &#x3c0;-bridge, an acceptor, and at least one alkoxysilyl group with the fluorinated sol-gel polymer to form a nonlinear optical fluorinated sol-gel polymer.

Fluorinated sol-gel electro-optic materials, process for producing same, and devices therefrom

A process for fabricating an electro-optic device is decribed that includes: a) providing a substrate comprising at least two polymer micro-ridges, where each polymer micro-ridge comprises an upper surface and two walls, and the two walls form an angle with a lower surface; b) depositing a metal thin film on the upper surface, the two walls, and the lower surface; c) etching a predetermined amount of the deposited metal thin film on the lower surface, thereby forming two electrodes separated by a gap; d) depositing a nonlinear optical polymer in the gap between the two electrodes; and e) poling the nonlinear optical polymer to induce electro-optic activity.
