3D waveguide optical interconnects for high bandwidth communication

Innovation in optical communication is driven by the ever-increasing data demand of our society. This talk will illustrate how ultrafast laser inscribed 3D waveguides in glass substrates enable low-loss interfaces to multicore optical fibers, broadband and high-density coupling to silicon photonic integrated circuits, and how material science can be leveraged to demonstrate high-index contrast and ultra-low loss waveguides.
