3D two-photon polymerization has shown to be an enabling tool allowing dynamic and precise printing of submicrometric optical components. Here, we focus on direct laser writing for the additive fabrication of 3D photonic waveguides, which are prime candidates for integrated, ultra-fast and parallel photonic interconnects. We here present a novel approach based on 3D optical splitters leveraging adiabatic coupling, which ensures a smooth single-mode transition between input and output waveguides. This unique 3D canonical architecture represents a clear breakthrough overcoming the long-standing challenges of parallel and scalable connections with high integration density for high-speed and energy-efficient neural networks computers.
