Multimode interference optical splitter based on photodefinable benzocyclobutene (BCB 4024-40) polymer

1×2 and 1×3 planar optical splitters based on Benzocyclobutene (BCB 4024-40) polymeric material are demonstrated for the first time. The devices are designed based on symmetric interference and fabricated on BK7 glass substrates with a thin layer of SiO2 as cover. A cost-effective chemical etching...
