Abstract

A method for preparing a poled polymer stripe waveguide comprising preparing a polymer waveguide blank, electric field poling the polymer waveguide blank, and photoablating the outline of the stripe waveguide in the waveguide blank. The invention also provides a method for preparing passive polymer stripe waveguides and non-linear optical and passive waveguides produced by the methods of the invention.
