An organic polymer suitable for preparing optical waveguides or optical fibers and methods of making same are described. The polymer is a homo- or copolymer having an olefinic backbone with a pendant group comprising fluorinated aromatic and aliphatic moieties, and is cross-linkable. Polymers having refractive index over a wide range may be prepared by selecting specific constituents of the pendant group.

An organic polymeric optical waveguide or optical fiber and methods of making same are described herein. The waveguide can be used in an integrated optical waveguide device. The polymer is a homo- or copolymer having an olefinic backbone with a pendant group comprising fluorinated aromatic and aliphatic moieties, and is cross-linkable. Polymers having refractive index over a wide range may be prepared by selecting specific constituents of the pendant group thereby permitting the fabrication of optical waveguide tailored for a particular application.
