Abstract
A thin film waveguide path comprises a waveguide path layer overlying a substrate but separated therefrom by at least one intermediate layer. The waveguide path layer comprises a first transparent high molecular material. The at least one intermediate layer comprises a second organic high molecular material having a solubility different from that of the first material and a lower refractive index lower than that of the first material, the substrate comprises a third high molecular material different from the first and second materials for supporting the waveguide path and intermediate layers.
