Tuning of optical waveguide devices containing an organic material

摘要

The present invention provides methods of tuning the optical properties, such as the channel center wavelengths, of an integrated optical waveguide device by providing a device, such as a wavelength division multiplexer or demultiplexer, which contains an organic material, and fine tuning the device by exposing the organic material to at least one incremental step of UV irradiation.
