CA 2378130

The invention provides a multifunctional optical switch that among other things, optionally can function as an optical wavelength division multiplexer, wavelength division demultiplexer, add-drop multiplexer and/or inter-connect device. The invention further provides novel methods of manufacturing the optical switch. The optical switch can comprise a single layer, and optimally includes of a plurality of layers which each comprise an optical nonlinear second-order polymer. The optical nonlinear second-order polymer present in each layer differs from that present in any other layer in terms of its absorption maximum (i.e., due to possession of different chromophores).

L'invention concerne un commutateur optique multifonction qui, entre autres applications, peut éventuellement fonctionner comme multiplexeur optique en longueur d'onde, démultiplexeur optique en longueur d'onde, multiplexeur à insertion-extraction et/ou dispositif d'interconnexion. L'invention concerne également de nouveaux procédés de fabrication de ce commutateur optique. Ce commutateur optique peut être constitué d'une seule couche mais il est, de préférence, constitué d'une pluralité de couches qui comprennent chacune un polymère pour l'optique non linéaire du second ordre. Ce polymère présent dans chaque couche diffère du polymère présent dans n'importe quelle autre couche de par son taux maximum d'absorption (c'est-à-dire, qu'il possède différents chromophores).
