Planar-Optical Polymer Transmission Line for 2D Distributed Sensing — •Axel Günther1, 3, Wolfgang Kowalsky1, 3, and Bernhard Roth2, 31TU Braunschweig, Institute of High Frequency Technology, Schleinitzstr. 22, 38106 Braunschweig — 2Leibniz Universität Hannover, Hannover Centre for Optical Technologies, Nienburger Str. 17, 30167 Hannover — 3Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD (Photonics, Optics and Engineering - Innovation Across Disciplines), Hannover

Planar-optical microstructures will become important for a large variety of future applications ranging from integrated photonic sensors to short distance communication. Hereby polymers offer a various advantages such as electromagnetic immunity, biocompatibility, as well as easy and cheap fabrication capability. They also provide a high flexibility in manufacturing and design compared to their semiconductor counterparts.

We compared different coupling concepts for horizontally and vertically emitting light sources into planar polymer-optical structures including light sources and detectors to form a polymer transmission path. We focus on low-cost, easy-to-fabricate and optically efficient coupling structures. Also, a transmission line is presented which contains a side emitting laser diode coupled to polymer waveguides by self-written-waveguides. As sensing element, a photo diode chip was integrated above a grating coupler. We discuss optical characterization of the components regarding losses and signal propagation.
