High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) are essential materials for many optical applications,
including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), charge-coupled devices (CCDs) …

As one of the most important optical properties of a material, refractive index (RI) and its
spatial distribution play important roles in managing the performances of photonic structures …

Light‐induced curing of photoresists is a well‐established technique to fabricate polymer
networks with precise control over the material properties. Herein, control is exerted over …

Although the synthesis of thiophenol-pendant polymers was reported in the 1950s, the
polymers generally suffered from oxidation and became insoluble in organic solvents …

This paper reports on the demonstration of a single-mode flexible polymer optical
interconnect for efficiently and conveniently connecting integrated photonics chips to one …

In this work, new polymeric based films are fabricated and optically characterized. The new
films include poly (vinyl alcohol), plain and blended with poly (vinyl pyrrolidone), comprising …

We demonstrate proof-of-concept refractive-index structures with large refractive-index-
gradient profiles, using a micro-contact photothermal annealing (μCPA) process to pattern …

We have developed new polymer optical interconnect materials that we term refractive index
contrast (RIC) polymers that are ideally suited to a wide variety of photonic interconnect …
