Abstract:

In this presentation, we give an overview of our recent progress in exploiting direct-write two-photon lithography for additive 3D fabrication of freeform micro-optical elements. These elements can be printed with highest precision in direct contact with the facets of photonic integrated circuits or optical fibers, thereby greatly simplifying alignment and improving coupling efficiency. The approach offers new perspectives for a wide variety of applications, ranging from advanced photonic multi-chip modules for high-speed communications and optical sensing to highly efficient astro-photonic systems. We are currently working on transferring the concept from laboratory demonstrations to industrial manufacturing.
