Abstract: A method of fabricating a thermooptic tunable wavelength filter of optical communication systems using WDM is provided, which includes the steps of forming a polymer optical waveguide on a semiconductor substrate using a polymer material, forming a polymer Bragg grating on the optical waveguide using O2 RIE and polymer spin coating, and forming a thermooptic tuning electrode over the polymer optical waveguide in which the Bragg grating is integrated. This provides the thermooptical tunable wavelength filter which has very narrow wavelength band width of transmission signal, low crosstalk with optical signals adjacent thereto, stable wavelength tuning characteristic using thermooptic effect and wide tuning ranges. Furthermore, the optical devices using the polymer optical waveguide can be fabricated with low cost. Thus, they have advantages in terms of economy and marketability.
