The paper presents the results of investigations concerning the measurement of the attenuation of planar waveguide structures obtained by means of the photopolymerization of the polymer SU8. The applied substrate was sodium-calcium glass. Attenuation is one of the fundamental parameters of optical waveguide, the knowledge of which is of crucial importance in the construction of various kinds of optical sensors. A method of its measurement has been presented, consisting in the recording of the intensity of scattered light making use of CCD camera. The paper deals also with the generation of planar polymer waveguide, taking into account problems connected with the adhesion to glass substrates.
