Optical Organic-Inorganic Waveguide Film, Prepared by Sol-Gel Processing Method

초록

Optical organic-inorganic waveguide materials were synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel reaction. To synthesize an alkoxysilane precursor, 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane was reacted with azo-type materials at elevated temperature. This precursor was then reacted with 4,4’-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenol to synthesize the organic-inorganic hybrids by sol-gel reaction. The reaction mixture was then heat-treated for thermal condensation and methanol as a byproduct was also eliminated. The thin film was prepared by spin coating on the ITO substrate and their patterned morphology and electro-optical properties were precisely measured. The detail results will be given in the meeting.
