ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of optical couplers from polymers in which the coupler structure is produced by injection molding and the polymers employed are preferably amorphous polymers, in particular PMMA, polystyrenes, polycarbonates, polyolefins, polyesters, polysulfones, polyether sulfones, polyether imides, polyarylates, polyamides or polyester carbonates. The coupler element is solid and may be coated with a polymer which has a lower refractive index than the coupler, so that the light propagation takes place in the coupler itself.
