Novel polymer photonic materials developed in our photonic research group, polysiloxanes (named as PSQ-Ls), are reported, including two kinds of PSQ-Ls, named as PSQ-LL and PSQ-LH. These polymer photonic materials are of a liquid and can be cured by UV light irradiation or by heat. The characterization of the optical films and waveguides based on the novel polymer materials, including refractive index, birefringence, optical loss and thermal stability, is given in detail. By blending PSQ-LL and PSQ-LH, the refractive indexes can be tuned linearly from 1.4482 to 1.5212 at 1310nm and from 1.4478 to 1.5198 at 1550nm. The birefringence is below 0.0005 with the variation of PSQ-LL content. These materials exhibit low optical losses of 0.31dB/cm at a wavelength of 1310nm and 0.70dB/cm at 1550nm, and high thermal stability with 1% decomposition temperatures of 297°C (in air) and 340°C (in N2) for PSQ-LH, and 313°C (in air) and 370°C (in N2) for PSQ-LL. Optical waveguide components such as micro-ring resonators and waveguide gratings based on PSQ-Ls are fabricated by photolithography-etching method and by UV imprint technology, respectively. The experimental measurements show that the polymer-based micro-ring resonators exhibit an excellent resonant filtering function. Potential applications of the polymer-based micro-ring resonators for optical communications and optical sensing are discussed.

In this paper, the systematic work on the development of this kind of optical biosensor built on a novel polymer platform named PSQ-Ls will be presented. The material itself is of very low cost, and the optical devices with high performances are fabricated through a simple UV-based soft imprint lithography technique. Especially for ring resonator, Q value as high as 5 × 104 and 2.7 × 104 are achieved in air and water condition. These optical chips are functionalized efficiently with protein A molecules through physical immobilization, after careful investigation of the physicochemical and chemical properties of their surface. Both bulk sensing and surface sensing are performed. The proposed optical biosensor exhibits good response not only to its surrounding environment's change but also to the small amount of targeted molecules appearing in the buffered solution, which is human-IgG in our study.

The influence of bend radius, coupling coefficient and doped erbium ion concentration on the characteristics of waveguide ring laser is investigated. It is shown that due to the co-action of waveguide bend loss and other relevant loss there is an optimal bend radius which can provide simultaneously low threshold pumping power and high laser light output power. As one part of the resonator’s loss, the laser light coupling coefficient of directional coupler has an impact on the laser property. The analysis indicates that the laser achieves the high output power when the coupling coefficient is about 0.2. The threshold pumping power is the minimum when the doped erbium ion concentration is 0.85×1026 m−3. Increasing the concentration of doped erbium ions will enhance the output power of laser light as long as the concentration doesn’t introduce remarkable up-conversion effect. The results give a good theoretical basis for the design and fabrication of erbium-doped waveguide ring laser devices.

A high degree of poly-condensation and a lower remnant ratio of Si–OCH3 were calculated by 29Si NMR and 1H NMR, respectively. After spin-coating, subsequently UV and thermal curing, free-cracked thin films were obtained. The properties of the free-cracked thin films were measured by a prism coupler and thermal analysis system. The refractive index increased to 1.5495 (1,310 nm TE) and 1.5468 (1,550 nm TE), respectively, with the increasing of phenyltrimethoxysilane content to 20 mol%. Birefringence was below 0.0005. The thermo-optic coefficient was about −2.8 × 10−4 °C−1. The optical loss was 0.20 dB cm−1 at 1,310 nm and 0.75 dB cm−1 at 1,550 nm, which was very important for core layer material of optical waveguide. The results of Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis indicated an excellent thermal stability. All of these properties imply that it will be a promising core layer material of optical waveguide.

The ion-exchange technique is an economical and simple method to fabricate good quality optical waveguides and useful devices. In this paper, with the mixed melt salt of AgNO 3 and KNO 3 used as the source of exchanging ions, a racetrack waveguide resonator was fabricated in K9 glass. The reflection and transmission spectra of the resonator were measured, and the coupling ratio and propagation loss were derived by an improved method. The phase shift of 2π was realized by using thermo-optical effect within 16 degree change of temperature. The resonator is a promising device for filtering, sensing and other applications.

In this paper, the systematic research on one kind of optical biosensor, based on a resonant principle in a polymer ring resonator, will be presented. Reduced footprint and high sensitivity are advantages of this kind of biosensor. Rather than expensive CMOS fabrication, the device with high performance is fabricated through a simple UV based soft imprint technique utilizing self-developed low loss polymer material. The measurement results for the bulk sensing of a NaCl solution and the surface sensing of a minimal amount of avidin molecules in a buffered solution will be presented.

Research paper thumbnail of Alkyl-substituted carboxyl-containing polyaryletherketones and the crosslinking modifications with various bisphenols: Preparation and optical properties

The results showed that the optical losses at 1310 nm were mainly affected by the content of CeH bond, whereas that at 1550 nm were more related to the presence of OeH bond. Moreover, two methyls and two bulky isopropyls on the phenylene rings led to the distorted polymer chain, which significantly reduced the chain packing density and disturbed the alignment of polymer chains along the substrate surface, and consequently resulted into the polymer films low refractive indices and birefringences. Furthermore, after conversion of carboxylic group to acyl chloride group, using rigid rod-like hydroquione and twisted phenolphthalein as bisphenol crosslinkers, respectively, the transparent smooth polymer films with three-dimensional network structures were readily obtained at the curing temperature below 200 C without needing any additional catalyst. The cured polymers exhibited excellent resistance to organic solvents and good thermal stability as well as low birefringence of 0.0019 and greatly decreased optical loss at 1550 nm by about 78%.

Partly double sideband carrier suppressed modulation scheme was used to generate optical frequency doubled microwave while the same optical carrier was reused via a fiber grating for up-link transmission in base station (BS). The 5 GHz microwave carrying 1 Mbps 8PSK-vector signal was up-converted to 10 GHz in BS with the vector signal conversion from 8PSK to QPSK. Also, a 50 GHz millimeter-wave was generated that can be seen from the optical spectra. Such a system shows simple configuration and is cost-efficient. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
