Abstract

The performance of a novel acylate-based thermally stable photo-polymer is presented. Rapid direct writing of the guides and other structures is realized using a high-power 325 nm He:Cd laser. The loss is measured by cut-back to be less than 0.17 dB/cm at 850 nm and less than 0.5 dB/cm at 1310 nm. This material and writing system is used to make 50 micrometers square core cladded guides and compliant bumps for device attachment, and 45 degree(s) TIR mirrors for out of plane coupling.
