Abstract
This invention discloses a manufacturing process for preparing sol-gel optical waveguides comprising the steps of solution preparation, an optical waveguide photoresist module process, and optical waveguide molding and sintering. The solution is prepared by mixing water and alcohol to form an alcoholic solution with a properly adjusted pH value followed by mingling with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) at room temperature. The optical waveguide photoresist module process comprises the steps of soft baking, exposure, development, washing by deionized water, drying by a nitrogen gun, and hard baking. The optical waveguide molding and sintering comprises the steps of spinning, sintering, and photoresist module removal.
