Abstract

Direct femtosecond writing is the simplest and most economical way to create waveguides in various media, which also allows the creation of complex waveguide networks. When considering materials, polymers are of particular interest because polymers provide unlimited variations of special compositions. Writing waveguides in polymers is not an easy task that cannot be directly compared with writing schemes in materials such as fused silica [2]. In recent times, successful laser writing schemes using complex parameter selection in polymers have been reported [3] , but further investigation is required research to get deeper insight into physical mechanisms and explore various aspects of undisclosed optical properties.
