Abstract

Ultrafast Laser Inscription enables the fabrication of arbitrary 3-dimensional optical waveguides in optical glass. The use of material science and glass chemistry has facilitated the creation of substrate materials with properties tailored to Ultrafast Laser Inscription to reach sub-decibel end-to-end insertion losses. Using these 3D waveguide circuits to interface with multicore, few-mode and few-mode multicore fibers has seen the demonstration of record-breaking data rates for space-division-multiplexed optical communication.
