Two Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) polymer-based waveguide designs namely MZI symmetrical and MZI asymmetrical structures were simulated and analyzed using Optiwave OptiBPM10. The two designs with device size of 4000μm x 300μm exhibit clear optical propagation path when light is simulated through them as well as displaying single mode profile. Highest output power was obtained by the MZI symmetrical design at 0.90 a.u, which suggests better waveguide design for sensing applications.
