ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating optical waveguides includes providing first, second and third layers of material, with the second layer being clear and the first and third layers having an index of refraction at least 0.01 lower than the second layer. A laminate of the layers of material is formed with the second layer sandwiched between the first and third layers and the laminate is heated until plastic and pressed together at spaced apart locations to form the second layer into at least one optical waveguide core with the first and third layers forming cladding layers therearound.
