We found that her handwriting evolved much less than that of TD children and remained similar to that of pre-schoolers at all stages, sug...

In this letter, we present the first demonstration of 2 8 power splitters made in silica-on-silicon by direct ultraviolet (UV) writing. The fabricated components are compact and exhibit good performance in terms of loss, uniformity, and bandwidth, showing that direct UV writing can become a competitive technology for fabrication of low-cost integrated optical devices.
