Passive Photonic Devices in Glass

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Femtosecond Laser Micromachining

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 123))

Abstract

Femtosecond laser microfabrication offers the potential for writing passive photonic circuits inside bulk glasses, for use in last-mile photonic networks, sensing, and lab-on-a-chip applications. In this chapter, the fabrication methods for writing low-loss optical waveguides along with waveguide and device characterization techniques are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of femtosecond laser writing are analyzed and compared with existing planar lithographic fabrication techniques.
