Abstract: A method for adaptively fabricating a waveguide (30) comprises: measuring misplacement of a photonic device (31, 32, 34) relative to a substrate (20); generating computer readable instructions for using a plurality of graphics primitives (16) to form the waveguide; and photocomposing the waveguide on the substrate in accordance with the computer readable instructions. A reticle (14) comprises a plurality of graphics primitives with at least one of the plurality of graphics primitives comprising a tapered end. A waveguide (30) comprises a plurality of waveguide segments (22) with each of the plurality of waveguide segments comprising a tapered end and being adjacent to at least one other of the plurality of waveguide segments.

Abstract: A waveguide (116) fabrication method includes depositing a photodefinable copolymer material (14) comprising methyl methacrylate, tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate, and an epoxy monomer; fixing optical elements (10, 12) relativ e to the copolymer material; sending light through at least one of the optical elements and copolymer material towards the other; volatilizing uncured monomer. Another waveguide (116) fabrication method includes: fixing optical elements (110, 112) relative to each other, each having an optical surface (11, 13); providing a copolymer blob (114) over the optical surfaces with sufficient surface tension to result in the copolymer blob having a curved surface (15); sending light through each of the optical elements towards the curved surface and the other; volatilizing uncured monomer. An optical path fabrication method comprises: fixing optical elements (70, 76) relative to each other, each having an optical surface (71, 77); translating and rotatin g a minor (78) until aligned to optimally direct light from one of the optical elements to the other; securing the aligned minor in position.

Abstract: An optical device structure (22) comprising a substrate (10) and at least on e topographic feature. The topographic feature comprises a polymeric composite material formed from a polymerizable binder and an uncured monomer. The topographic feature has a controlled topographic profile and a controlled refractive index across the topolografic feature. The optical device structu re may be a multimode waveguide device, a single mode waveguide device, an optical data storage device, thermo-optic switches, a lens, or microelectron ic mechanical system.
