FEMTOprint’s advanced laser micro-machining technology enables localized refractive index modification in glass, achieving changes in the range of 10⁻² to 10⁻³.
This capability is essential for the fabrication of embedded 3D optical waveguides within the bulk of transparent substrates, unlocking new opportunities in the design and integration of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and optical interconnects.
With this laser-based process, it is possible to precisely manufacture both single-mode and multimode optical waveguides at key telecommunications wavelengths, specifically 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Additional optical components—such as tapered waveguides, mode converters, fan-in/fan-out structures, and more—can also be seamlessly integrated, supporting the development of compact, high-performance photonic devices for next-generation applications.
