Notes:
The role that polymers will play as optical waveguides in the photonic communications revolution is described, including examples of polymer photonic devices, physical and optical requirements, aging mechanisms, competing materials, electric-field poled polymer films, room-temperature processed polymer films, and analytical methods for studying physical aging. Several important recent aging studies on nonlinear optical polymers, both thermoplastic and thermoset, are reviewed.
