ABSTRACT:
An optical coupling device is prepared with use of an optical medium containing a monomer which is polymerizable when irradiated with light to give a polymer having a higher refractive index than the monomer. The two elements to be coupled optically are at least partly embedded in the optical medium, and an optical coupling path partly interconnecting the two elements is formed by the photopolymerization of the monomer which is accelerated by light propagating from at least one of the elements toward the other element. Thus the photopolymerization of the monomer forms in the portion of the optical coupling path a polymer which has a higher refractive index than the surrounding portion and which therefore provides an optical waveguide of the step index type.
