Abstract
An optical waveplate includes a polyimide with a film thickness of 20 µm or less. A waveguide device using the waveplate has an optical waveguide with a groove formed at an angle close to a right angle and the waveplate inserted in the groove.
Claims (3)
1. A waveguide device constituted by an optical waveguide formed on a substrate, wherein a groove is so formed as to form a predetermined angle, which is close to a right angle, with said waveguide and to cross said waveguide, and an optical waveplate consisting of a polyimide film with a film thickness of not more than 20 µm is inserted into said groove,
2. A polarization convertor, wherein a waveguide device comprises a single optical waveguide, and a half waveplate consisting of a polyimide film with a film thickness of not more than 20 µm and having a product of an in-plane anisotropy of refractive index and a thickness set to one-half of a wavelength of light propagating through said waveguide is inserted into a groove formed in a waveguide substrate so as to cross said waveguide substrate and to make a certain angle with said waveguide.
3. A convertor according to claim 2, wherein the certain angle is defined between 80° and 90°.
