  1. Applications of Polymer in WDM System 台灣大學電子所碩一 陳嘉怜

  2. Outline • Introduction • Applications of Polymer in WDM • Thermally Polymer Bragg grating OADM’s • Polymeric AWG Router • Variable-Attenuator Arrays using PNLC • Summery • Reference

  3. Introduction • Polymer Type: • Acrylate, Halogenated Acrylate, Fluorinated Polyethers, PN-LC(Polymer-Network Liquid Crystal) and so on.. • Advantages: • Large dn/dT(refractive index variation with temperature) • Low propagation loss • Easy to fabrication and low cost • Application • Coupling, routing, filtering and switching functions.

  4. Thermally Polymer Bragg grating OADM’s • Polymer material: Highly-crosslinked acrylate monomers with specific linkages. • Insertion loss for add/drop paths : <2dB • Reasonable temp. range: 20 ℃ -80℃ • Large dn/dT: as high as -3×10-4/ ℃

  5. Reflection(a) and Transmission(b) spectra

  6. Tunable OADM Operation

  7. Polymeric 16×16 AWG Router • Polymer material: Fluorinated Polyethers. • Channel Spacing : 0.8-nm( 100 GHz) • Propagation loss: 0.4 dB/cm at 1.55-nm

  8. AWG Router Connected with Channel Waveguide • Schematic view of a portion where the rib waveguide and the channel waveguide are connected by the taped waveguide. Rib type in order to minimize the coupling loss and obtain single-mode condition

  9. Transmission Spectrum • (a) Transmission spectra overlay of the AWG router • (b) Free spectrum range of AWG for light input port7 and output port16 12.85nm~16×0.8nm

  10. Slope 0.795 Slope 0.796 Transmission Characteristic • The measured pass wavelengths of the 16×16 AWG router output channels.

  11. Transmission Spectra for TE/TM Modes

  12. Optical-Fiber Variable-Attenuator Arrays Using PN-LC

  13. Mechanism of Optical Attenuation

  14. Attenuation Properties of the PN-LC VOAs

  15. Summery • We show three applications of polymer in WDM system, included thermally tunable OADM, AWG routing, and tunable attenuation. • The advantages of these polymers are easy to fabrication, low cost, andlow propagation loss.
