synthesis and Characterization of Fluorinated Polyimides for Optical Waveguide Application
E-mail:
Fluorinated polyimides with high thermal stability, low optical absorption loss in the optical communication wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 ㎛ , and low birefringence and water absorption have been investigated for optical waveguide applications. These polyimides were prepared from 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) with 1,4-bid-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy) tetrafluorobenzene (ATPT), 1,4-bis-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy) benzene (ATPB), and 1,3-bis-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy) 4,6-dichlorobenzene (ATPD), respectively. The polyimides obtained had glass transition temperatures that ranged from 260 to 280℃ , and low water absorption less than 0.4% and low optical loss(>0.2 dB/cm) at 1.3 and 1.55㎛ . birefringency values of polymer films ranged from 0.0041 to 0.0066.
