OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES AND INTEGRATED OPTICAL SUBSYSTEMS ON-A-CHIP

摘要

Optical waveguide composite materials and integrated optical subsystems with low loss connection to optical fibers, are disclosed. The waveguide material has a varying thickness and/or refractive index from one portion (816) to another (820) and can be varied in all three directions. Methods of producing the composite materials and waveguides are also disclosed.
