Abstract: Disclosed are polyarylene ether sulfides and polyarylene ether sulfones for optical device and a method for preparing the same. Polyarylene ether sulfides containing fluorine and polyarylene ether sulfones containing fluorine are synthesized through polycondensation of pentafluorophenyl sulfide and pentafluorophenyl sulfone monomer with dihydroxy monomer.

Thus, the high molecular weight polymers prepared by very simplified process have low light loss, excellent resistance for heat, solvent and water, and so can be used to manufacture inactive optical waveguide devices.

Abstract: An optical waveguide intensity modulator of a polymer waveguide utilizes and electro-optic effect and optical birefringence induced from a poling process of a nonlinear polymer thin-film. The optical waveguide intensity modulator is constructed by a series combination of a TE/TM mode selector, a TE or TM mode converter and another TE or TM mode selector. In the polymer waveguide, the mode selectors and mode converter can be easily obtained by making the direction of a poling field to be horizontal (or vertical) and approximately 45.degree. direction. According to the present invention, the optical waveguide intensity modulator is formed by integrating the TE or TM mode selectors and the TE or TM mode converter onto a single substrate. Further, because no element, is required which results in optical loses for example an optical isolator, an optical coupler or a curved portion of the waveguide, the efficiency of the device can be improved.

Abstract: A TE-TM mode converter of a polymer electro-optic polarization waveguide type uses the electro-optic birefringence and the electro-optic effect as a non-linear optical waveguide medium, in which an optical director formed during the poling of a polymer thin film is determined by the direction of the poling electrical field. The poling electrode design enables the optical director having the angle of 45.degree. to the electrical direction of the TE and TM modes to be formed in the polymer thin film. When the waveguide receives the incident light of the TE mode or TM mode, the TE (or TM) mode is switched into the TM (or TE) mode by an effective refraction factor between the optical director and the director perpendicular thereto. If a length of the poling electrode and the birefringence of the waveguide is adjusted, the changes of various electo-optic polarization states are possible. The poled thin film has an electro-optic effect.
