Waveguide structure using polymer material and method

   
   

Disclosed is the use of a polymer material in an optical waveguide structure. The polymer material may be used in either the cladding or the core material of an optical waveguide. The use of polymer material as such is advantageous in that the index of refraction of polymer material varies significantly with changing temperature. The polymer material is subjected to a heating mechanism and/or a cooling mechanism to manipulate the index of refraction as desired.
