Area of Science:

Materials Science
Optical Engineering
Nanotechnology

Background:

Traditional glass micromachining methods lack precision and design flexibility.
Glass is a preferred material for optical applications due to its transmission and refractive properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, high-precision method for fabricating optical waveguides in glass.
To integrate polymer waveguides with glass substrates for enhanced optical functionalities.

Main Methods:

Utilized Laser Induced Deep Etching (LIDE) for subtractive manufacturing of glass structures.
Employed the doctor blade technique to create U-shaped cavities for polymer waveguide fabrication.
Filled etched trenches with liquid optical polymers and UV-cured them to form waveguides.

Main Results:

Successfully fabricated glass-polymer hybrid optical waveguides with U-shaped cross-sections.
Demonstrated waveguiding capabilities in the visible to near-infrared spectrum.
Validated the LIDE-doctor-blade (LDB) method's precision and potential for integrated optics.

Conclusions:

The LDB method offers a precise and versatile approach for manufacturing optical waveguides in glass.
This technique bridges the gap between long-distance optical transmission and on-chip solutions.
The fabricated waveguides exhibit promising optical properties for advanced photonic packaging.
