METHOD FOR COUPLING AN OPTICAL FIBER TO AN OPTICAL OR OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT |
摘要 |
A method for optically and mechanically coupling an optical fiber to an optical or optoelectronic component on a substrate is provided. The method comprises: providing an optical fiber comprising a core and a cladding, the core being exposed at an end face of the optical fiber; forming a polymer waveguide core on the end face, the polymer waveguide core extending from the fiber core; bringing the polymer waveguide core in proximity of the optical or optoelectronic component; providing a liquid optical material, the liquid optical material embedding the polymer waveguide core; and curing the liquid optical material, thereby forming a polymer cladding layer encapsulating the polymer waveguide core and mechanically attaching the optical fiber to the optical or optoelectronic component. |
