光学聚合物材料具有许多其他无机光学材料所不具备的独特功能。这些包括具有低热导率的大的热光效应、通过溶液共混的折射率可调谐性、结构多样性、独立柔性和可控双折射。本课题组根据含氟聚合物材料的特性，研究了各种功能集成光学器件，包括极低串扰集成光学器件、应变控制柔性波导可调谐激光器、双折射可调谐偏振控制器等。它们已被证明具有良好的性能，大的制造公差，和高可靠性，它们将是重要的基石，扩大应用领域的聚合物光波导器件。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
Optical polymer materials have many unique features that are unavailable in other inorganic optical materials. These include large thermo-optic effect with low thermal conductivity, index tunability by solution blending, structural diversity, freestanding flexibility, and controllable birefringence. Various functional integrated optic devices have been investigated by our group based on the specialties of fluorinated polymer material, which include extremely low crosstalk integrated optics, strain-controlled flexible waveguide tunable lasers, and birefringence-tuned polarization controllers. They have been demonstrated to have good performance, large fabrication tolerance, and high reliability, and they will be important building blocks for extending the application territory of polymeric optical waveguide devices.
