In this paper we present promising technology for preparation of photonic devices based on polymer materials on the chip. We designed 2D and 3D structures in CAD (computer-aided design) software and we used two-photon polymerization mechanism for direct writing of these structures to IP-Dip photoresist material. This paper also deals with experimental procedures for preparation of polymer photonic devices on the chip and a new way of light coupling to devices on the chip. Morphological properties of prepared devices were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). As a result, transmission spectrum characteristic was measured.

Keywords: waveguide; resonator; polymer; laser lithography
