Facet preparation of polymer based optical wavelength filter using mechanical/chemical treatment technique

A new technique of end facet polishing for polymer on glass optical waveguide is presented. The technique is based on the combination of mechanical and chemical polishing and the process is worked on the grinding and polishing machine. The process starts with the waveguide cutting followed by the fa...
