WAVEGUIDES ASSEMBLED FOR TRANSVERSE-TRANSFER OF OPTICAL POWER

Formation of a substantially flat upper cladding surface over a waveguide core facilitates transverse-coupling between assembled waveguides (1260, 1270), and/or provides mechanical alignment and/or support. An embedding medium may be employed for securing optical assemblies and protecting optical su...

More Information
Summary:Formation of a substantially flat upper cladding surface over a waveguide core facilitates transverse-coupling between assembled waveguides (1260, 1270), and/or provides mechanical alignment and/or support. An embedding medium may be employed for securing optical assemblies and protecting optical surfaces thereof. Structural elements fabricated with a low-profile core may be employed for providing mechanical alignment and/or support, aiding in the encapsulation process.
