TI  - Effect of fluorine plasma treatment on PMMA and their application to passive 
      optical waveguides.
PG  - 424-6
AB  - Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) has been a good prospect for the development of 
      fully amorphous and highly transparent microphotonic devices. The possibilities 
      of a hot embossing technique for the polymeric fabrication of optical waveguides 
      were investigated in this work. A new technique based on radiofrequency plasma 
      treatment was studied for thermal and optical properties, including glass 
      transition temperature, thermal stability, refractive index, and optical 
      transmission loss of PMMA. It is shown that the plasma treatment is effective in 
      altering the functional groups of polymer surfaces without affecting the bulk 
      properties, resulting in effective control of refractive indices and optical 
      transmission losses for photonic applications.
