Abstract

Integrated photonics represents a fast-growing market targeting an increasing number of stakeholders and application fields. With its fabrication platform for advanced integrated photonic components in glass, FEMTOprint can produce high-precision optical and opto-mechanical connectors monolithically aligned with micro-optical elements within a single fabrication process. Therefore, no extra alignment is required and all optical elements can be positioned with sub-micron precision. We will present examples of the most common building blocks used for Integrated Photonics Circuits, i.e. fiber inlets for passive alignment, optical 3D waveguides as well as micro-optical elements for beam shaping such as micro-lenses and micro-mirrors.
