METHOD OF FORMING A HERMETICALLY SEALED FIBER TO CHIP CONNECTIONS

摘要

Disclosed are methods of providing a hermetically sealed optical connection between an optical fiber and an optical element of a chip and a photonic-integrated chip manufactured using such methods.

主权项

1. An optical device, comprising:
a photonic-integrated chip on which an optical waveguide is formed; and an optical fiber assembly comprising an optical fiber having an end surface that is pre-activated in a plasma to create dangling bonds which facilitate coupling with the optical waveguide, the end surface of the optical fiber providing a hermetically sealed optical connection to the optical waveguide formed in the photonic-integrated chip.
