This paper describes a new type of polymeric waveguides which has the core, cladding medium
and active nodes made from the same material. Part of the polymer is removed in cladding medium
by formation of nanopores. The pores can be filled with liquid crystals (LC) in order to create
an active composite medium needed for electrically controlled nodes formation
