Low loss and highly reliable polymer optical waveguides with perfluorinated dopant-free core

Polarization independent and low propagation loss of 0.03 dB/cm even at 1650 nm was obtained by the polymer optical waveguide with the dopant-free core made of purely perfluorinated amorphous polymer. High durability to humidity was also shown
