Abstract

Provided is a polymeric optical device comprising a substrate, a lower cladding layer formed on the substrate, at least one core layer pattern formed on a predetermined region of the lower cladding layer and an upper cladding layer having at least two sub-upper cladding layers and formed on the lower cladding layer in which the core layer pattern is formed, and a method of fabricating the same, whereby birefringence of a polymeric optical device could be improved and polarization dependence could be reduced by adjusting the thickness of the sub-upper cladding layer and the number of stacks thereof.
