Abstract
Fabrication of large core polymeric optical waveguides by hot embossing is demonstrated. UV-curable resin ridge stampers are used for hot embossing. The stampers has replicated the rectangular groove PMMA replicas, which act as under-claddings for optical waveguides. The optimum conditions for hot embossing are investigated. Low Propagation loss of ∼0.13dB/cm at 650nm is realized for 500μum core waveguides.
