    The direct microdispensing method used for the fabrication of the optical polymer waveguides was demonstrated. The applied method allowed fabricated optical channel waveguides with circular shapes. Optical polydimethylsiloxane elastomers used for the core and cladding layer allowed fabricated optical flexible waveguides with high temperature and chemical stability. The dimensions of the waveguides were optimized for the dimension of the optical fiber with a core diameter of 500 mu m. The applied materials allowed transmitted light for visible and near-infrared spectrums. The average values of the optical losses were lower than - 0.42 dB/cm at 650 nm, 0.40 dB/cm at 850 nm, - 0.5 dB/cm at 1300 nm and - 2.06 dB/cm at 1550 nm.

    Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising analytical technique for fast and accurate disease detection due to its attractive features. However, realizing label-free direct detection is still challenging as most probes have extremely low Raman cross sections and little affinity to SERS substrates. Disappointingly, SERS spectra of most bacteria and other biological samples look similar as the differences in their molecular compositions are subtle and not detectable. Hence, the fabrication of highly enhancing plasmonic nanoparticles with excellent uniformity is demanded. Moreover, as SERS substrates are not reusable, cost-effective and simplistic fabrication methods are critical. Here, we report a facile approach to synthesizing Ag nanoparticle array on Cu-foil in less than 3 min, using only Cu-foil, silver nitrate, and hydroquinone. We employed the idea of galvanic replacement in combination with a seed mediated particle-growth approach. The label-free bacterial detection has shown that our Cu/Ag nanoparticle substrate is superior to highly acclaimed Ag nanocubes. Creating strong second and third-generation SERS hot-spots through cooperative interaction of homo-(Ag-Ag) and heterogeneous (Ag-Cu) surfaces contributes mainly to the observed excellent enhancement. Interestingly, direct liquid bacteria sample analysis showed a 6-fold higher detection sensitivity than completely dried samples. We believe that our approach will offer remarkable advantages and change how SERS substrates are prepared and conducted in SERS-based bacterial detection.

    We report on our study of the effect of gamma-ray irradiation on Plastic Optical Fibers with a 1 mm diameter for short reach communication. For the study, we used gamma-radiation facilities with Co-60 sources for slow long-term irradiation with a low dose speed of around 70 Gy/hrs and a maximum dose up to 62.90 kGy and a higher speed irradiation dose of around 1 kGy/hrs with a maximum dose up to 51.30 kGy. The optical losses measurement showed that the losses increased linearly during the irradiation and began to decrease immediately after the end of being irradiated. Higher doses of irradiation cause a higher value of the optical loss, and at the dose of 62.9 kGy, the loss was unmeasurably high. A low dose of gamma radiation (1.24 kGy) increased optical losses only slightly and the gamma-ray irradiation at 17.6 kGy for the 20 m long fiber had optical losses of -15.5 dB at 650 nm. The results of the relaxation measurements also showed that optical losses measured at wavelength 535 nm are significantly higher than those at 650 nm. Spectral characteristics measurement done during the irradiation showed that the intensity of the transmitted light decreased and the absorption edge shifted towards the higher wavelengths. Spectral characteristics measured after irradiation during the relaxation period showed that the intensity increased and also that the absorption edge was shifted towards the lower wavelengths, but the same values as before the irradiation were not achieved.

    This paper presents the design and construction of a new planar optical Polymer Waveguide Bragg grating (PWBG) temperature and humidity sensor realized by polymer-glass hybrid technology composition with a new layout concept. The Bragg grating of a sensor was made by a Direct Laser Writing (DLW) in Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) formed on a multimode waveguide realized in a glass substrate by Ag+ <-> Na+ ion exchange. The fabricated hybrid Bragg grating structure exhibited more than 10 dB of the attenuation dip, equivalent to higher than 90% diffraction efficiency. The fabricated hybrid PWBG sensor exhibited high temperature and humidity sensitivity in contrast to glass-based sensors of - 48.6 pm/degrees C and 54.16 pm center dot RH-1, respectively.

    Fibre optic cables are widely used as communication cables in Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems. In the case of nuclear power plants (NPPs), using optic cables in mild environments outside of containment areas are very common. However, at present, there is a need for fibre optic cables to be used in containment areas, i.e., with radiation. An optical fibre consists of a highly transparent core that possesses a higher refractive index than the surrounding transparent cladding, which possesses a lower refractive index. Most optical fibres are manufactured from glass (silica with required dopants) which is created at high temperatures from the reaction between gasses. The glass used in optical fibres is sensitive; it becomes dark during exposure to radiation, which compromises the optic functions. That is why there has been a slow infiltration of optic cable in NPP containment areas. Radiation resistant optic fibres have been developed. Although these fibres are called "radiation resistant," they go through a darkening process (absorbance increase) as well, but not as quickly. Immediately after the irradiation has stopped, a recovery process starts in the glass structure. During this period, optical losses of the glass improve, but not to the original level as before the irradiation. During the testing of optic cables for the installation in nuclear power plant containment areas, we observed an unusual recovery process. In the beginning, a healing effect was observed. However, after a few days of recovery, the healing process stopped, and the trend changed again as a worsening of the optical properties was observed. This paper describes experiments which explain the reasons for such an unexpected behaviour.

Multimode Optical Polymer Waveguides Fabricated by R2P Nanoimprinting for Optical Interconnection

  • Pracoviště: Katedra mikroelektroniky
  • Anotace:
    We report on polymer optical waveguides fabricated by roll-to-plate technology (R2P) nanoimprinting. Our measurement proved that the presented waveguides will allow the realization of optical waveguides with low optical losses at the key optical communication wavelengths at 850 and 1300 nm. We also show low optical losses of these waveguides in the visible spectrum at 530 nm (green light) and 650 nm (red light). The paper has also demonstrated that the R2P fabrication procedure allows the easy fabrication of optical waveguide devices and has great potential for the implementation of optical polymer waveguides for optical interconnection applications.

    In our study, we report on the effect of gamma-ray irradiation on four types of polycarbonate sheets. We used the panoramic gamma-radiation facility with Co-60 source with applied doses from 1.38 to 100.50 kGy with the radiation dose rate 66.6 +/- 6.3 Gy/h. To get knowledge on the needed properties, the prism coupling method was used for refractive indices measurement at six wavelengths (532.0, 654.2, 846.4,1308.2, 1549.1 and 1652.1 nm) and Sellmeier approximation with an infrared correction was used to estimate the refractive indices from 500 to 1700 nm. The transmission spectra were measured in the spectral range from 250 to 2150 nm and absorption coefficient and band gap Eg were calculated from transmission spectra. The chromaticity coordinates and influence of the gamma-irradiation were also studied. Our results proved that materials such as these can be used in gamma-radiation-exposed environments for optical components such as digital camera lenses, optical lenses, mirrors, prisms, optical waveguides, etc.

    This paper presents the properties of optical planar waveguides made of silk fibroin, extracted from Bombyx mori cocoons deposited on an allyl diglycol carbonate substrate. Raman spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterise the molecular structures of the silk fibroin layer, while the waveguiding properties were measured by the m-line spectroscopy at six wavelengths 532.0, 654.2, 846.4, 1308.2, 1549.1 and 1652.1 nm. The measurement proved that the silk fibroin layer guide light at all measured wavelengths. Optical losses were measured by scanning a fibre-optic probe at 846.4 and 1549.1 nm; they were estimated to be 0.24 dB cm−1 and 0.25 dB cm−1, respectively. Our results have proved that the Bombyx mori silk fibroin has great potential in new bio-photonic devices.

    We reported on the active channel waveguides, formed in novel types of silicate glasses, doped with rare-earth elements, and Zn were investigated. The silicate glass GZ4 with Er3+ and Yb3+ content was studied, and the best doping ratio was estimated about luminescent properties. The composition of the glass samples (GZ4) with the content of 0.25 mol.% Er2O3 and 5.0 mol.% Yb2O3 and 12.0 mol.% resp. 18.0 mol.% ZnO was optimized. This glass was evaluated as the most suitable material for integrated amplifiers in the 1 530-1 565 nm telecommunication band. Other samples were prepared with active channel waveguides and active planar optical power splitter Y with a splitting ratio of 1x2 by two-step ion-exchange Na+<-> Ag+. Diffusion profiles of the created samples were analyzed by the EMA microscope and compared with the near mode-field distribution measurement results. Afterward, the amplification properties of the designed structures were studied, and the differential gain from 1.2 to 1.6 dB (0.48 to 0.64 dB/cm) was achieved by pumping power 200 mW at 980 nm.

    The influence of the addition of Y2O3 on the structural, spectroscopic, and laser properties of newly prepared Er, Yb-doped strontium-sodium phosphate glass was investigated. While the addition of Y2O3 has a small influence on the absorption spectra and fluorescence lifetime, it has a strong impact on the emission cross-section and on OH- content. The glasses were used as the active medium for diode-pumped laser emitting at 1556 nm. The increase in Y2O3 content leads to a significant 35% increase in laser slope efficiency up to 10.4%, but at the expense of the substantial reduction of the wavelength tunability from 82 to 54 nm.

    Lasing parameters and wavelength tunability of a new disordered solid-state active medium, Tm3+-doped gadolinium gallium aluminum garnet (Tm3+-doped Gd3(Ga1-xAlx)5O12, Tm:GGAG), were investigated. Five samples with thulium concentration ranging from 1.4 at.% to 9.2 at.% (Tm/Gd) were designed, grown, and investigated. Basic spectroscopic characterization and measurement of a refractive index were performed. Each sample was tested as an active medium of a 2 µm laser, longitudinally diode-pumped at 786 nm. Tm3+ concentration dependence of laser parameters was investigated. The highest slope efficiency of 43% w.r.t. absorbed power in the pulsed regime and 35% in the CW regime was achieved with the 2.4 at.% (Tm/Gd) sample. All samples produced beams of good quality with an estimated M$^2 \leqslant 1.6$. Concentration-dependent tunability was investigated and a smooth continuous range of wavelengths, up to 187 nm wide, was recorded.

    The paper reports on properties of the elastomer multimode optical channel waveguides. The waveguides were fabricated by the doctor blade technique using the nickel mold with the dimension of the core 50 x 50 mu m(2)and irradiated by gamma rays from 60Co source with the dose rate 1 kGy/h. The applied irradiations were 14.6 kGy and 33.9 kGy and we studied the influence of gamma rays on the properties of the elastomer waveguides. We measured transmission spectra, refractive indices and the waveguide propagation losses. The lowest values of the optical losses were 0.21 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/cm at 850 nm in the samples irradiated with dose 14.6 kGy and 0.55 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.66 dB/cm at 850 nm for the sample irradiated with a higher dose 33.9 kGy. The average value of the optical losses at 650 nm was 0.78 dB/cm (dose 14.6 kGy) and 1.05 dB/cm (dose 33.9 kGy). Optical silicone elastomers have unique properties and can be used for the realization of the optical waveguides for interconnection or realization photonics structures for applications in extreme environments.

    The paper reports on the fabrication and characterisation of E3135 epoxy polymer planar waveguides fabricated onto allyl diglycol carbonate substrate. We measured transmission spectra from the visible to near-infrared region and studied waveguiding properties by the m-line spectroscopy using six lasers (532.0, 654.2, 846.4, 1308.2, 1549.1 and 1652.1 nm). Optical scattering losses of the planar waveguides were measured by the fibre scanning method. The lowest values of the optical losses were 0.33 dB/cm at 632.8 nm and 0.35 dB/cm at 850 nm. Our research showed that the epoxy polymer E3135 is a promising material for the implementation into the MOEMS structures with higher integration density, thus it allows for realisation low-cost and feasibly elaborated MOEMS components.

    The paper presents our research on the optical properties of thin-film deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) complexes based on cetyltrimethylammonium (DNA-CTMA) deposited onto an optical elastomer substrate, which may be suitable for the construction of biophotonic devices. The study involved the measurement of Raman spectra, absorption spectra from the visible to the near-infrared region and the values of the refractive indices by m-line spectroscopy at five wavelengths (473, 632.8, 964, 1311, and 1552 nm). The samples were proved to have waveguiding properties from visible to infrared spectrum and high contrast of refractive index - the value is 0,0457. Photoluminescence measurement was done under excitation at three wavelengths (355, 405 and 450 nm) and showed one broadband with maxima at 437, 520 and 530 nm depending on the excitation wavelengths. The study has demonstrated that this combination of polymers, because of its unique properties, has great potential for the implementation of all-polymer structures in the applications of high-density photonics and biocompatible optical devices.

We used the panoramic gamma-radiation facility with Co-60 source with applied doses 14.6 kGy and 54.2 kGy. For the thought properties, we measured the transmission spectra from 200 to 1800 nm and refractive indices using the prism coupling technique at six wavelengths 532.0, 654.2, 846.4, 1308.2, 1549.1, and 1652.1 nm. We also studied the possibility of using several approximation methods for evaluating the refractive indices including Cauchy, Cauchy-Schott, Herzberger, Sellmeier, Sellmeier-2, and Sellmeier with an infrared correction. The measurements showed that the most precise determination model of the refractive indices was obtained by the Sellmeier approximation with an infrared correction. The transmission spectra measurement showed that the CR-39 and EUROPLEX (R) PPSU polymers did not change significantly after the irradiation and the refractive indices measurement showed that ZEONEX E48R and EUROPLEX (R) PPSU did not change the refractive indices values.

The design of the optical planar waveguides was done using a modified dispersion equation; waveguiding properties and refractive indices were measured by dark mode spectroscopy at five wavelengths: 473, 632.8, 964, 1311 and 1552nm; the measurement showed that the OrmoClear HI01 XP had a higher refractive index value (1.582 at 1552nm) than the OrmoClear polymer (1.537 at 1552nm). Optical scattering losses of the waveguides were measured by the fibre scanning method; the measurement showed that the average values of the optical losses of the OrmoClear HI01 XP (0.48dB/cm) were lower than those of the OrmoClear FX (0.64dB/cm) and the OrmoClear polymer (0.76dB/cm) for the measured wavelengths 964, 1311 and 1552nm. Our measurement showed that the OrmoClear HI01 XP would allow the implementation of the MOEMS structures with higher integration density also in the case of such commonly used substrates as e.g. silica-on-silicon and that our approach would make possible to use low-cost and feasibly elaborated hybrid-polymer-based structures instead of the widely used semiconductor approach.

    The design, fabrication and measurement of the properties of the large core 1x2 Y optical planar splitters for high-temperature operation are demonstrated. The splitters were designed by the beam propagation method optimized for operation wavelengths 650nm and for assembling with optical fibre having core diameter 600 mu m and cladding 630 mu m. The splitters consisted of optical glue core and cladding layers made of Cyclo Olefin Polymer. The applied materials allowed for higher operating temperatures (up to 120 degrees C) than standard splitters made of acrylate plastic (up to 80 degrees C). The splitters show optical losses lower than 4.0dB at 532nm/650nm, 2.6dB at 850nm, 3.4dB at 1300nm and 5.1dB at 1550nm at room temperature. The optical losses measured in the thermal shock test chamber at temperatures up to 120 degrees C showed that the best sample had losses lower than 4.2dB at 850/1300nm, 4.6dB at 532nm and 7.6dB at 650nm. Such splitters would be very useful in places with elevated temperatures, for instance in engine parts where the expected temperature can reach as high as 120 degrees C.

    We report about properties of large core plastic planar optical bend waveguides. The dimensions of the waveguides were to be compatible with the commonly used plastic optical fiber with diameter 750 mu m and the bend radii of the waveguides varied from 30 to 1 mm. The waveguides were made by engraving of a U-groove by using CNC machining into poly(methyl methacrylate) substrate; the waveguide core layers were made of Norland Optical Adhesive UV photopolymer. We experimentally confirmed that fabricated bends may have the total bend losses A for radii 30 mm 4.1 dB/cm at 850 nm, 4.8 dB/cm at 650 nm and 5.63 dB/cm at 532 nm. These bend waveguides are viable for short reach visible and infrared optical communication with easy and low cost installations.

And the final model is presented. The values of optical insertion loss were simulated at 650 nm and compared to values measured.

    The paper reports on the fabrication and characterisation of free-standing multimode optical epoxy polymer waveguides consisting of a core made of EpoCore and EpoClad polymer cladding and cover protection layers. The 50 × 50 μm2 rectangular waveguides are intended for short-reach optical interconnection and optimised for an operating wavelength of 850 nm. The waveguides of the proposed shapes were fabricated by a standard photolithography process on a silicon substrate provided with a Poly(vinyl alcohol) thin layer. The free-standing structure was then achieved by peeling the deposited EpoClad/EpoCore/EpoClad structures of that substrate. The optical scattering losses of the created planar waveguides, measured by the fibre probe technique at 632.8 and 964 nm, were 0.30 dB cm−1 at 632.8 nm and 0.17 dB cm−1 at 964 nm. Propagation optical loss measurements for rectangular waveguides were performed by the cut-back method and the best samples had optical losses below 0.55 dB cm−1 at 850 and 1310 nm.

    We present a fundamental study of the erbium luminescence centres in single- and nano-crystalline (NCD) diamonds. Both diamond forms were doped with Er using ion implantation with the energy of 190 keV at fluences up to 5 x 10(15) ions.cm(-2), followed by annealing at controllable temperature in Ar atmosphere or vacuum to enhance the near infrared photoluminescence. The Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry showed that Er concentration maximum determined for NCD films is slightly shifted to the depth with respect to the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter simulation. The number of the displaced atoms per depth slightly increased with the fluence, but in fact the maximum reached the fully disordered target even in the lowest ion fluence used. The post-implantation annealing at 800 degrees C in vacuum had a further beneficial effect on erbium luminescence intensity at around 1.5 mu m, especially for the Er-doped NCD films, which contain a higher amount of grain boundaries than single-crystalline diamond.

We measured waveguiding properties of PDMDPS planar waveguides deposited on glass substrate using the prism coupling technique and the optical scattering losses of the waveguides by the fiber probe technique at the wavelengths region from visible to infrared. The design of the rectangular waveguides was planned for the geometric dimensions of the core 50 x 50 A mu m(2) and the proposed shapes were realized by the doctor blade technique into a nickel mold. Insertion optical loss measurement of rectangular waveguides was done by the cut-back method and the best samples had optical losses lower than 0.35 dB cm(-1) at 532, 650, 850 and 1310 nm. The main virtue of the waveguides is their flexibility, suitable in particular for optical connections in a wide range of the wavelengths.

    Silk fibroin protein has been reinvented as a new optical material for biophotonic applications because of its optical transparency, biocompatibility, and easy fabrication process. It is used in various silk-based optical devices, which makes it desirable to investigate the optical properties of silk from diverse perspectives. This paper presents our investigation of the optical properties of silk fibroin, extracted from Bombyx mori cocoons. We have measured transmission spectra from the visible to near-infrared region and investigated waveguiding properties by the prism-coupling technique for five wavelengths (473.0, 632.8, 964.0, 1311, and 1552 nm). From the measurements, we determined the values of refractive indices. The measurements also proved waveguiding properties for all of the wavelengths. Optical scattering losses were measured by the fiber probe technique at 632.8 nm and were estimated to be 0.22 dB.cm(-1).

    This paper presents the study of the optical properties of bulk and thin-film samples made from polydimethylsiloxane and polydimethyl-diphenylsiloxane elas- tomers. The chemical structures of the prepared elastomer samples were characterised by infrared spectroscopy. Also their transmission spectra were measured in the visible and infrared regions. The refractive indices of the samples were measured by the prism coupling technique using dark mode spectroscopy for five wavelengths (473, 632.8, 964, 1311 and 1552  nm). Particular focus was placed on the effect of the dependence of refractive index on the conditions of deposition. It has been found that the changes of refractive indices can be achieved by the modification of deposition conditions (hardening temperature and/or A:B mixed agent ratios). In order to obtain more significant changes of the refractive indices, we recommend using polydimethyldiphenylsiloxane elastomer as a waveguide layer because of it content of phenyl groups, which lead to an increase in the value of the refractive index.

    The intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) near infrared planar waveguides were grown on glass substrates from silane/hydrogen mixture at the substrate temperature about 250°C. Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings with reduced surface roughness were grown on a-Si:H by the microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from hydrogen rich plasma with adding methane and carbon dioxide at temperature as low as 210°C. The optical absorptance spectra, Raman spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal the diamond character of the coatings as well as the stability of a-Si:H layer during diamond deposition. The critical issue for applying NCD/a-Si:H structures as optical waveguides is the optical absorption in NCD coatings. The COMSOL Multiphysics FEM simulations show that the near infrared optical absorptance in NCD coating must be reduced below 10/cm to reduce the optical attenuation in NCD/a-Si:H waveguide below 1 dB/cm.

    Two-step field-assisted ion-exchanged waveguides have been fabricated on a glass substrate. The concentration profiles of the exchanged ions were measured with electron microprobe. The waveguides were characterized under scanning electron microscope and optical microscope for the investigation of burying structures. Guiding mode patterns were characterized with near-field measurement, where symmetric profiles were observed for the burying-type waveguide. The refractive index profiles were also measured with a modified end-fire coupling method.

The triplex lightwave circuit is based on the Epoxy Novolak Resin SU-8 waveguides on the silica-on-silicon substrate with Polymethylmethacrylate cladding layer. The triplexer is comprised of a linear butterfly concept of multimode interference (MMI) coupler separating downstream optical signals of 1490 nm and 1550 nm. For the upstream channel of 1310 nm, an additional directional coupler (DC) is used to add optical signal of 1310 nm propagating in opposite direction. The optical triplexer was designed and optimized using beam propagation method. The insertion losses, crosstalk attenuation, and extinction ratio for all three inputs/outputs were investigated. The intended triplexer was designed using the parameters of the separated DC and MMI filter to approximate the idealized direct connection of both devices.

    The aging of thin polymer films is interesting for the development of nonlinear optical media. In this study, the optical properties of porphyrin-doped poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) films are investigated before and after annealing. Both absorption and luminescence spectroscopies were used to characterize the changes that occurred during the thermal treatment. The surface and bulk characteristics of the doped films were also measured using atomic force microscopy, X-ray-induced photoelectron spectra, and DSC. We found that the aging of the thin polymer films led the porphyrin molecules to diffuse in the direction of the polymer surface. This led to the random formation of porphyrin aggregates on the surface, followed by absorption band shift and little luminescence quenching. These results suggest that porphyrin-doped PMMA films could be used as long-term stable active optical materials.

Design and modeling of symmetric three branch polymer planar optical power dividers

  • Pracoviště: Katedra mikroelektroniky
  • Anotace:
    Two types of polymer-based three-branches symmetric planar optical power dividers (splitters) were designed, multimode interference (MMI) splitter and triangular shape-spacing splitter. By means of modeling the real structures were simulated as made of Epoxy Novolak Resin on silicon substrate, with silica buffer layer and polymethylmethacrylate as protection cover layer. The design of polymer waveguide structure was done by Beam Propagation Method. After comparing properties of both types of the splitters we have demonstrated that our new polymer based triangular shaped splitter can work simultaneously in broader spectrum, the only condition would be that the waveguides are single-mode guiding. It practically means that, what concerns communication wavelengths, it can on principle simultaneously operate at two mainly used wavelengths, 1310 and 1550 nm.

There were designed two topological and technological variants of an optical waveguide grating filters. The first type of the optical waveguide grating filter was realized as a laser-heat shaped layer of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) on a glass substrate with an optical ion exchange waveguide. The second type was realized by laser-heat shaping of a SU-8 (epoxypolymer) ridge waveguide on SiO2/Si substrate. The distribution of optical field and topological constants of waveguide grating filters was calculated and simulated by RSoft's BMP and Grating Mode programs. Influence of topological parameters of waveguide grating filters like grating groove depth, waveguide layer thickness, length of the grating, etc. on key characteristic properties of the diffraction grating filter including diffraction efficiency, central reflected wavelength, the bandwidth at 50% of the maximum transmission (FWHM) for guided modes and insertion losses were mainly investigated. The waveguide filters were realized as relief Bragg gratings with roughly sinusoidal cross section of the layer that had influence at a guided optical mode. A Grating's period was chosen to satisfied higher order Bragg's phase condition due to technological limitations of the laser-heat manufacturing process. The grating constant can be continuously varied, which is a major asset for optimization process of Bragg's gratings with space modulated profile. Main properties of the optimized prototypes were then measured and evaluated.

The polymer layers containing 1.0 to 20.0 at % of Bismuth were fabricated by spin-coating onto silicon or quartz substrates. The properties of the material were studied using several methods with special regards to its potential utilization in photonics devices. Transmission spectra were taken in the range from 350 to 1600 nm, while photoluminescence spectra around 1300 nm were recorded by using excitation of semiconductor lasers operating at 808 nm and at 980 nm (Ex= 250 mW). Optical properties of the samples were evaluated on the bases of the concentration of the Bismuth ions as well as on the concentrations of the co-doping ions and showed close relations between concentration of the dopants and intensity of the luminescence band at 1300 nm. Our results proved that the Bismuth doped ENR has a strong potential for application in active photonics structures, as it has excellent optical properties and very easy and not demanding fabrication procedures.

    Controlled noninvasive manipulation of porphyrin-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) by laser beam is described. SWCNT/porphyrin complexes have been deposited on a polymer surface and irradiated by a scanning beam of laser light with the wavelength of 405 nm. Laser energy was absorbed by the porphyrin and converted into heat through an energy transfer within the complexes. This led to periodical deformation of the initially flat polymer surface. As a result of the surface deformation the SWCNTs or SWCNT bundle move in the direction given by the laser scanning. It was proved that SWCNTs can be moved to a desired position using the focused laser beam.

    In this paper, we describe results of our recent experiments on electric field assisted patterning of thin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layers. Micro-sized patterns were created on thin PMMA films by the effect of external electric field, perpendicular to the film surface. The PMMA film, prepared by spin-coating onto Si or Si/SiO2 wafer, was heated to the fluid temperature (275°C) and a linear pattern was created by the effect of electric field produced by a strip electrode. The dependence of the form and size of the created patterns on the intensity of the electric field, exposure time and initial film thickness was examined. Wave guiding properties were analyzed by mode spectroscopy, optical losses were measured by dispersive method and the created patterns were analyzed by optical microscopy and profilometer.

    Micro-sized patterns were created on oligomer (Su-8) films by the effect of external electric field, perpendicular to the film surface. Structures with varying parameters were prepared and the growth of continuous or dot-like structures was observed. The mechanism dominating the structure growth was examined and found to be a function of experimental conditions. The dependence of the form and the size of the created patterns on the intensity of the electric field, exposure time and initial distance between mask and polymer surface was investigated. Waveguiding properties of the linear pattern, produced by the above technique, were examined and the following parameters were obtained: propagation loss - 2-3 dB/cm, effective refractive index - 1.6276, number of supported modes - 30).

    In this paper we report on the optical properties of bismuth ions doped Epoxy Novolak Resin (ENR). The polymer layers containing 1.0 to 20.0 at. % of bismuth were fabricated by spin-coating onto silicon or quartz substrates. The properties of the material were studied using several methods with special regards to its potential utilization in photonics devices. Photoluminescence spectra around 1300 nm were recorded by using excitation of semiconductor lasers operating at 808 nm (Ex= 500 mW). Optical properties of bismuth doped Epoxy Novolak Resin were evaluated on the bases of the concentration of the bismuth ions involved in the samples and showed, e.g. close relations between concentration of the dopants and intensity of the luminescence band at 1300 nm. IR spectra showed only negligible changes in the original substrate resin. Our results proved that the bismuth doped ENR have a potential for utilization in photonics devices.

    In this paper we report on fabrication and optical/spectroscopic properties of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) doped with RE (Er3+ and Er3+/Yb3+) ions. Infrared spectroscopy revealed only very weak O-H stretching vibration peaks in the samples. Measurement of transmission spectra in the wavelength ranges from 300 to 700 nm for Er3+ doped samples and from 900 to 1050 nm for Yb3+ doped samples, enabled us to observe the 4G11/2 (377 nm) and 2H11/2 (519 nm) transmission bands typical for Er3+ doped samples, as well as the 2F5/2 (975 nm) band typical for Yb3+ doped samples. Under excitation at 980 nm, at room temperature, the characteristic Er3+ emission at 1530 nm was also observed with improving trend when the higher Rare Earth (RE) concentrations were applied. The results indicate that the PMMA reveals very low tendency to the RE clustering, which, together with low cost and easy fabrication make it a material with a great potential in the active photonics devices.

    Thin carbon and carbone nitride films exhibit specific optical and machanical properties which make them promissing materials for integrated optics. The fabrication of carbon and carbonn nitride layers for planar optical waveguides is focused on two areas. The first one is the growth of carbone or carbone nitride layers with reproducible refractive index and thickness for passive waveguides, and teh second one is the growth of these layers and their doping with erbium for active waveguides.
