Natural Silk as a Photonics Component: a Study on Its Light Guiding and Nonlinear Optical Properties.
Silk fibers are expected to become a pathway to biocompatible and bioresorbable waveguides, which could be used to deliver localized optical power for various applications, e.g., optical therapy or imaging inside living tissue. Here, for the first time, the linear and nonlinear optical properties of natural silk fibers have been studied. The waveguiding properties of silk fibroin of largely unp...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Silk Foam Waveguide
Silk foam-based terahertz waveguides are fabricated using lyophilisation and casting techniques. This work is motivated by the lack of biocompatible waveguides for low-loss guidance of THz for applications in remote sensing in biomedical and agro-alimentary industries.
متن کاملOptical Backplane Waveguides with 850 nm Wavelength Multimode VCSELs
An optical backplane concept based on polymer waveguides, well suited to overcome the communication bottleneck caused by conventional printed circuit boards is investigated. Attenuation coefficients are determined for several waveguides on different backplanes and it is shown that 10 Gbit/s data transmission at a bit error rate of 10 is possible both for waveguides of large (250 × 200 μm ) and ...
متن کاملOptoelectronic printed circuit board: 3D structures written by two-photon absorption
The integration of optical interconnects in printed circuit boards (PCB) is a rapidly growing field due to a continuously increasing demand for high data rates, along with a progressive miniaturization of devices and components. For high-speed data transfer, materials and integration concepts are searched for which enable high-speed short-range connections, accounting also for miniaturization, ...
متن کاملIntegration of multimode waveguides and micromirror couplers in printed circuit boards using laser ablation
Integration of optical interconnections on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is very challenging, as it should remain compatible with existing PCB manufacturing technology. We will describe the use of laser ablation, already used in PCB manufacturing for microvia’s, as a suitable technique for the fabrication of multimode waveguides and micromirrors to provide optical coupling. The focus is on abla...
