Metal-Printing Defined Thermo-Optic Tunable Sampled Apodized Waveguide Grating Wavelength Filter Based on Low Loss Fluorinated Polymer Material
In this work, thermo-optic (TO) lateral shift apodized sampled waveguide grating for 1550 nm wavelength is designed and fabricated by the metal-printing technique based on fluorinated epoxy-terminated polycarbonates (FBPA-PC EP) and fluorinated epoxy resin (FSU-8) materials. The optical characterist...
