Summary form only given. In summary, we have successfully demonstrated a polymeric 1 X 8 digital optical switch using a highly reliable fluorinated polyimide. The fabricated switch has an average insertion loss of 6.5 dB and cross talks of <-18 dB at /spl lambda/= 1.55 /spl mu/m. These results show an excellent potential for the practical use of this switch in optical networks.
