Photonic circuits writing with UV pulsed laser

Résumé

Photonics technology is employed in a growing number of applications. Biological and chemical sensors (E. Udd, Fiber Optic Sensors: An Introduction for Engineers and Scientists, Wiley, New York, 1991 [1]) for health and environment demand an adaptable technology. Network development towards the end-user requires more interconnecting components. Vision, lighting, data processing in hostile environment (spatial, military) need specific technologies. A flexible and low-cost process using good quality material is necessary. The sol-gel process is a chemical method to fabricate glasses at ambient pressure and moderate temperature. Hybrid materials (H.K. Schmidt et al., Proc. SPIE 3136, 220 (1997) [2]), mixing organic and inorganic parts, offer the advantages of polymer-like materials and glasses. We report on a new hybrid sol-gel technology to overcome the drawbacks of the formerly presented one (H. Krug, F. Teillantes, P.W. Oliviers, and H. Schmidt, Proc. SPIE 1758, 448 (1992) [3]). We present the material synthesis, an accurate and flexible fabrication process based on a pulsed UV laser lithography system and the characterisation of the optical waveguides and photonic circuits realised.
