Thin Films of Block Copolymers as Planar Optical Waveguides
Source abstract
Abstract
Thin films of diblock copolymers with cylindrical microdomains oriented normal to the film plane are employed as planar optical waveguides in the Kretschmann configuration (see Figure). Their waveguiding properties were investigated by optical waveguide spectroscopy. The dielectric constants and the film thickness of the block copolymer layer can be independently obtained from fitting between the waveguide patterns for s- and p-polarization and Fresnel calculations.

23. A decrease of ϵDfrom 2.220 to 2.048 was calculated from comparison between the dielectric constant of the initial film (ϵx = ϵy = 2.402 ϵz = 2.429) and that of the porous template (ϵx = ϵy = 2.377 ϵz= 2.385). Then the best fractional combination of air and PMMA was deduced to fit the effective constant of 2.048 using Equation 2.
