OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE DEVICE

Introduction to the process of optical waveguide devices:

Optical waveguide devices are manufactured on silicon-based or other transparent materials through precision photolithography and etching processes for efficient transmission and control of optical signals.

Process capability:

Materials: silicon, quartz, polymers, etc.

Structural design: Design the waveguide cross-section and refractive index distribution.

Manufacturing: Photolithography defines patterns and etching forms waveguides.

Function:

Transmission: Transmitting optical signals in fiber optic communication.

Modulation: Adjusting the phase or intensity of light waves.

Beam splitting: Splitting an optical signal into multiple paths.

Coupling: coupling optical signals between different waveguides.

Optical waveguide devices are widely used in fields such as integrated optics, optical communication, and sensors.
