Abstract Optical waveguides were generated in Polymethylmethacrylate using “direct” laser and contact mask structuring. Excimer laser radiation (248 nm) produced a local refractive index increase thereby achieving light guiding in waveguides with widths from 2 to 15 $\mu$m. The near field output images were analyzed using visible and infrared laser light. The mode fields of single mode structures were evaluated to elaborate numerically the parameters of the index profile. An index increase up to 0.01 could be achieved using laser pulses at fluences below $0.15$ ${\textrm{J/cm}^{2}}$. Thus it was possible to design interference couplers of 5 $\mu$m waveguides width for the visible (635 nm to 670 nm) as well as for the infrared range at 1550 nm. The coupling properties as a function of the waveguide separation and the wavelength is investigated and found compatible with numerical simulations for the structure design. The presented approach allows for designing and fabricating single mode couplers in an efficient and simple manner.

AbstractWe demonstrate direct electron beam writing of a nano-scale Cu pattern on a surface with a thin aqueous layer of CuSO4 solution. Electron beams are highly maneuverable down to nano-scales. Aqueous solutions facilitate a plentiful metal ion supply for practical industrial applications, which may require continued reliable writing of sophisticated patterns. A thin aqueous layer on a surface helps to confine the writing on the surface. For this demonstration, liquid sample holder (K-kit) for transmission electron microscope (TEM) was employed to form a sealed space in a TEM. The aqueous CuSO4 solution inside the sample holder was allowed to partially dry until a uniform thin layer was left on the surface. The electron beam thus reduced Cu ions in the solution to form the desired patterns. Furthermore, the influence of e-beam exposure time and CuSO4(aq) concentration on the Cu reduction was studied in this work. Two growth stages of Cu were shown in the plot of Cu thickness versus e-beam exposure time. The measured Cu reduction rate was found to be proportional to the CuSO4(aq) concentration.
