Abstract

Besides the advantage of acrylic glass as material for passive optical components (easy structure, acceptable loss, low cost) there is a limited stability against elevated temperatures and humidity. Therefore it is necessary to search for other polymers which avoid especially this disadvantage. Two new materials have been studied: poly- (methacryl-methyl-imide), a copolymer from Roehm Darmstadt consisting of methyl-methacrylate and imide with a glass transition temperature of more than 150 degrees C, depending on the imide concentration, and Benzenecylobutane, a material from Dow Chemical.First developed for coating material in electronics it exhibits excellent optical properties and a temperature stability of more than 350 degrees C. The obtained n_eff values as a function of ion energy, fluence and accumulated ion dose are reported.
