Higher interconnect density for intrinsic dimensions of optical patterns; 4. Low Non-Recurring Expenses (NRE) and unitary costs. 1) good optical parameters (optical losses, low birefringence, low dispersion) 2) optimal patternability, 3) very high NLO activity ODEON ODEON STREP-project under the 6 th Framework Programme (Collaboration with SELEX-SI)
