Single‐Step Generation of Flexible, Free‐Standing Arrays of Multimode Cylindrical Waveguides
Abstract
Polymer matrices patterned with 3‐D waveguide circuitry are critical components of flexible photonics but cannot be fabricated through conventional, linear lithographic techniques. By exploiting the spontaneous filamentation and modulation instability (MI) of a uniform optical field in a range of silicone‐acrylate‐based photopolymerizable fluids, the authors report the generation of free‐standing arrays of cylindrical, multimode waveguides with …
