摘要:
A method of producing an organic-inorganic composite material formed from an organic polymer and a metal alkoxide, comprising the steps of polycondensating the metal alkoxide through hydrolysis until the unreacted metal alkoxide is reduced to 3 vol. % or less, and mixing it with the organic polymer to form the organic-inorganic composite material. By laminating such organic-inorganic composite materials, the resulting laminate is provided with a concentration gradation wherein the metal element of the metal alkoxide is increased or decreased from one side to the other side of the laminate.

An optical waveguide in which a groove is formed on the top surface of a substrate used as a lower clad and a core is formed in the groove, characterized in that the core is formed in such a way that the top face of the core within the groove is at a lower level than the top face of the substrate, and an upper clad may also be provided on the core, and the core is preferably formed from an organic-inorganic hybrid material.
摘要:
An organic-inorganic composite material is formed by polycondensating a metal alkoxide through hydrolysis until the unreacted metal alkoxide is reduced to 3 vol. % or less, and mixing it with an organic polymer. The composite material has a light transmittance of at least 90% per 10 μm material thickness for light of 600 to 1000 nm. The metal element content of the composite material is preferably 0.1 to 46 wt. %, more preferably 5 to 37 wt. %. By laminating layers of such organic-inorganic composite materials having respective different compositions, the resulting laminate has a concentration gradient wherein the metal element content increases or decreases monotonously, or increases and decreases in succession, from one side to the other side of the laminate. The resulting refractive index varies opposite the metal element content. The material can be used for an optical waveguide or a light transmission structure.

In the optical waveguide which comprises a core layer to be an optical transmission region and an upper clad layer and a lower clad layer covering the surrounding of the core layer and of which the upper clad layer is formed while being shrunk in the volume, a stress moderating layer formed a material with a smaller storage modulus than that of the upper clad layer is formed between the upper clad layer and the lower clad layer in at least a portion of a region where the upper clad layer and the lower clad layer are brought into contact with each other.

An optical device includes a substrate, a core provided on the substrate, a first clad and a second clad formed around the core. The optical device further includes a light absorber layer, provided on the substrate, which absorbs light leaked from the core. The light absorber layer is formed of, for instance, the same material as that constituting the core.

A gradient-index lens is structured by a multilayer film that includes therein a plurality of layers each of which has different refractive index and layer thickness from the other.

摘要:
The body of a micromachine has a plurality of energy-power converting means for receiving different forms of energy including rays, microwaves and sound waves and converting the different forms of energy to electric power, i.e., photoelectromotive devices, a microwave-power converter and an acousto-electromotive device. The electric power obtained by these means is supplied to a drive system and an operation system incorporated in the machine body.
