Abstract
An optical waveguide is comprised of an optical fiber having a core and a cladding wherein the core comprises an organic polymer media exhibiting non-linear optical response over a predetermined optically transmissive region, the polymer having a predetermined index of refraction and the fiber having a predetermined uniform diameter and an arbitrary length. The fiber inherently possesses waveguide properties which are utilized for the detection of radio frequency fields, modulating optical signals, frequency doubling, and as a parametric amplifier.
