摘要
An approach using an as-formed solid bulk sample containing a blend of photocurable and thermally curable epoxies together with a highly efficient two-photon excitable fluorophore is demonstrated for in situ fabrication of three-dimensional optical circuitry with a precise control of dimension and spatial locations. Confocal volume images of a 1 X 2 splitter and a grating coupler are shown. End-fire coupling of a He-Ne laser beam into the 1 X 2 splitter has been achieved. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
