Direct UV-written broadband directional planar waveguide couplers.
We report the fabrication of broadband directional couplers by direct UV-writing. The fabrication process is shown to be beneficial, robust and flexible. The components are compact and show superior performance in terms of loss and broadband operation.
متن کاملFemtosecond laser written low-loss single-mode waveguides in PMMA
Ultrafast laser inscription is a standard technique to fabricate embedded waveguides in glasses or crystals. Tightly focused femtosecond laser-pulses induce an increase in refractive index inside the material via non-linear absorption. By moving the sample through the focus virtually arbitrary threedimensional paths can be created. The transfer of this technique to polymers has already delivere...
متن کاملCharacterization of Femtosecond Laser Written Waveguides for Integrated Biochemical Sensing
Fluorescence detection is known to be one of the most sensitive among the different optical sensing techniques. This work focuses on excitation and detection of fluorescence emitted by DNA strands labeled with fluorescent dye molecules that can be excited at a specific wavelength. Excitation occurs via optical channel waveguides written with femtosecond laser pulses applied coplanar with a micr...
متن کاملHoley fiber mode-selective couplers.
Directional mode coupling in an asymmetric holey fiber coupler is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally for the first time. The holey fiber mode couplers have interesting spectral characteristics and are also found to exhibit increased dimensional tolerances. Following a design based on numerical investigations, a dual-core polymer holey fiber coupler for LP(01) and LP(11) mode multi...
متن کاملVersatile large-mode-area femtosecond laser-written Tm:ZBLAN glass chip lasers.
We report performance characteristics of a thulium doped ZBLAN waveguide laser that supports the largest fundamental modes reported in a rare-earth doped planar waveguide laser (to the best of our knowledge). The high mode quality of waveguides up to 45 um diameter (~1075 μm(2) mode-field area) is validated by a measured beam quality of M(2)~1.1 ± 0.1. Benefits of these large mode-areas are dem...
