Abstract

The suitability of polyvinylidene fluoride films for IR integrated optics applications was demonstrated. Polyvinylidene fluoride is a piezoelectric polymer, which demonstrates high transparency in the middle-IR and has several transparent windows in the far-IR. The fabrication of cylindrical microlenses and microlens arrays by CO₂ laser irradiation of polyvinylidene fluoride substrates has been demonstrated. Pseudo-spherical microlenses were also fabricated by direct laser writing. Strong piezoelectric properties, high chemical resistance, stability to UV radiation and high continuous-use temperature make PVDF suitable for various IR integrated optics applications.
