Abstract: We present a method for fabricating a self-written waveguide (SWW) between two optical fibers that are single-mode (SM) at 850 nm (780HP/ core diameter: 4.4 μm). The basic principle consists in exposing an acrylic photopolymer… read more here.

Abstract: Self-written waveguide (SWW) trajectories fabricated inside a dry photopolymer bulk material, acrylamide/polyvinyl alcohol (AA/PVA), are studied. Their production using both Gaussian and Laguerre-Gauss exposing (writing) light beams, output from optical fibers, is explored. The formation… read more here.
