Abstract
The optical properties of novel polymer poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone, PPESK) film waveguide are studied by prism coupler. The optical properties of PPESK-8020, including refractive index, birefringence, thermo-optical coefficient and optical loss, are demonstrated. This kind of material has the advantages of low optical loss (less than 0.24 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.52 dB/cm at 1550 nm) and high thermal stability (1% weight loss temperature: 488 centigrades). Due to these excellent properties, it may have great potential in optical waveguide applications.
