Optical Solder of SOLNET gives Self-Aligned Optical Couplings between misaligned optical devices.
Optical Solder has mode size converting functions between devices with different core sizes.
FDTD method predicts a wide lateral misalignment tolerance of ~2 µm between 600-nm-wide waveguides.
Coupling losses of 0.9 dB for 1-μm misalignment between 3-μm-wide and 600-nm-wide waveguides.
Two-photon photochemistry enhances the optical solder capability of SOLNETs.
