Truemode™
(UV-curing Polymers for Optical Interconnects)

The Truemode™ family of polymers is a range of multi-functional acrylate polymers for the fabrication of low-cost and high performance optical interconnects. Truemode™ polymers offer a unique combination of low loss, wide-range of refractive index, photo-sensitivity for direct write, and environmental stability.

The low loss of <0.04dB/cm at 850nm makes Truemode™ the ideal choice for large area optical backplanes. They are specifically designed to be compatible with PCB manufacturing including lamination, metal coating and reflow soldering applications, with typical glass transition temperature of The dry-film version is suitable for use with low-cost contact exposure

Truemode™ polymers can also be applied to cost reduction of planar lightwave circuits, such as splitters and concentrators, as the photosensitive polymers may be deposited and patterned using standard spin-coating and photolithographic techniques on a wide range of substrates including silicon, glass and FR-4.
