Multi-Photon Fabrication of Ultra-compact Optical Waveguides in Polydimethylsiloxane

Abstract

We report the fabrication of ultra-compact flexible optical waveguides in polydimethylsiloxane through multiphoton direct laser writing, for the first time without a photoinitiator. A transmission loss of 0.03 dB/cm was... [ view full abstract ]
