Description
Summary:碩士 === 大同工學院 === 電機工程研究所 === 81 === In recently years, rapid development in communication and signal processing has produced considerable interest in and polymeric material that exhibit optical nonlinearity larger than those available commercially. In this thesis, we have successively constructed and demonstrated an optical nonlinear organic polymer with cross-linked gelatin and nonlinear moiety, 4-nitrophenol. According to the systematic experiment, characterization of the material in integrated optics application has been investigated: adjusting the dopant concentration of nonlinear molecules, the refractive index of waveguides can be controlled between 1.43 to 1.54 and the glass transition temperature (Tg) is between 88 to 108C. From different conditions of waveguide fabrication process, it can be concluded that when the spinner coating speed is between 1000 to 2000 rpm and the baked temperature is 60C, a uniform and low loss planar waveguide can be obtained. Besides, nonlinearity in molecules and polymers is studied and their application in integrated optics is described. Finally, the propagation constants and field distribution of the propagation modes in three-layer planar waveguide have been calculated.
