ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERSPECTIVES OF INTEGRATED OPTICS BASED ON NEW FLUORINATED POLYMER MATERIALS
Achievements and perspectives of integrated optics based on new fluorinated polymer materials are reported. We discuss the synthesis of acrylic monomers with a high degree of fluorination, fabrication of polymer waveguide arrays with an enhanced level of integration, laser writing of submicron Bragg gratings, production of optical multiplexers and demultiplexers for DWDM systems and fabrication of high-speed optical bus on the printed circuit board for microprocessor computer systems.
