Organic-Inorganic Hybrids for the New Generation of Optical Networks

resumo

Organic-inorganic hybrids were tailored as transparent monoliths and as planar waveguides deposited on borosilicate substrates by the spin coating technique. Laser direct writing process was used to create monomode Y-splitters. The Y-splitter structures were designed and optimized for a coupling ratio of 50% using a beam propagation method (BPM) software.. The potential of these optical structures based on di-ureasil hybrids to be used as optical filters operating in the C+L telecommunication windows will be evaluated.
