Photostructured Optical Devices and Methods For Making Same

摘要

A photostructurable ceramic is processed using photostructuring process steps for embedding devices within a photostructurable ceramic volume, the devices including chemical, mechanical, electronic, electromagnetic, optical, and acoustic devices, all made in part by creating device material within the ceramic or by disposing a device material through surface ports of the ceramic volume, with the devices being interconnected using internal connections and surface interfaces.

主权项

1. An embedded optical device, comprising:
a photostructurable ceramic volume comprising:
an outer surface;an optical cavity disposed within the ceramic volume; andat least one conduit fluidicly coupling the optical cavity to the outer surface of the ceramic volume; and device material disposed in the optical cavity, the device material being an optical material that forms at least one of an optical combiner and an optical separator encapsulated by the ceramic volume.
