Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1118886A1] The present invention provides methods of tuning the optical properties, such as the channel center wavelengths, of an integrated optical waveguide device by providing a device, such as a wavelength division multiplexer or demultiplexer, which contains an organic material, and fine tuning the device by exposing the organic material to at least one incremental step of UV irradiation. <IMAGE>
