AB  - We have developed a soft-lithography method to replicate polymer waveguides. In 
      this method, the waveguides are produced by a two-step molding process where a 
      master mold is first formed on a negative-tone photoresist and subsequently 
      transferred to a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold; a PDMS silicone rubber mold is 
      then used as a stamp to transfer the final waveguide pattern onto an UV cure 
      epoxy. Initial results show good pattern transferring in physical shape. The 
      optical performance is measured based on the propagation loss. In our design, the 
      loss was measured at 0.28 dB/cm for 1.3 microm and 0.26 dB/cm for 1.55 microm.
