The waveguides
can be made onto sheets or reels of plastic film or onto Light coupling into the waveguide can be either by end fire through a cut and polished edge or by grating coupling where appropriate. Lowest loss performance is achieved in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 900 nm. Contact
us for more details.

Epigem's
polymer waveguides are made to order using a patented UV embossing process.
Both single and multimode devices can be made. The process uses cross-linked
acrylate polymer resin materials that have high transparencyand good thermal
and mechanical stability compared to alternative thermoplastic polymers.
The materials have refractive indices in the range 1.45 to 1.56. The index
difference in the guides can be from 0.001 to 0.1.
