Abstract

Recently interest has been growing in exploiting the advantageous fabrication properties of electro-optic polymer materials for optical interconnect applications. For many of these applications a technology for fabricating multilevel registered waveguide structures will be required. Described here is the use of a projection printing technique of waveguide fabrication which has been used to demonstrate a registered two level Mach-Zehnder modulator array. The details of this fabrication technique and design considerations for the multiple level device are presented.
