Polymeric waveguide devices have received much attention for optical signal processing and communication systems because of simple and low-cost process. Polymers can be deposited directly on any kind of substrates , and this is advantageous over other optical waveguide materials such as LiNbO3. 　　We want to integrate the common-path interferometric measuring system on a chip. The system includes quarter wave plate, EO modulator and polarizer. The polymer DR1-PMMA has the properties of controllable birefringence and optic axis. By way of different electrode configuration designs, any desired principal axis can be formed. Then, we can measure the sample directively on the chip in orter to get better sensitivity and less loss during the operation. 　　In this study, we use the softwares, such as “LCD Master” and “Matlab” to simulate the capability of the integrated devices and do the process for manufacturing an integrated common-path interferometer in Southern Taiwan Nanotechnology Reserch Center.
