| Abstract | We have studied mask based process for the microfabrication of polymeric (IXn) branching waveguides both theoretically and experimentaly. The simulation is based on the two-dimensional finite-difference beam propagation method (FDBPM) for the design of the waveguiding devices. The transmission efficiency of truncated structural Y-branch (TSYB) for wide angle (IX2) splitter with a full branching angle 2A greater than 2$^{0}$ is improved compared to that of normal Y-branch (NYB) structure. The maximum transmission at the output is obtained in phase matching between the inner and the outer paths at the point of bending of the truncated structure. An analysis for the optimum phase matching taking symmetric cladding refractive index at the branching zone, is made to improve the transmission efficiency η. For more output ports in (IXn) multiple branching waveguides it is observed that equal output power is not obtained for normal (IXn) branching waveguides. We have designed here a new truncated structural (IX3) branch [TS(IX3)B] structure for obtaining equal transmissions in higher branching angle structure using same phase matching consideration. Phase matching consideration is also followed in designing TS(IXn) B structures. We have fabricated the polymeric devices over Si-SiO$_{2}$ substrate. The cladding and the waveguiding layers are the Epoxy and PMMA/DRI, respectively. The thickness and refractive index of the waveguiding layers are controlled either by spinning speed or viscosity of the solution and its mixing ratio, respectively. The standard photolithography technique is used here with positive resist coating and followed by dry plasma etching in presence of oxygen. Experiments for the transmission efficiency of the devices are made and compared with the theoretical values. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
