Abstract :
The optical solder effect of the self-written waveguide (SWW) using Rhodamine 6G dye-dispersed ultraviolet (UV) curable resin by a green laser is demonstrated. This enables formation of SWW from the end of polyimide waveguide having strong UV absorption. High efficient coupling between an optical fiber and a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is successfully achieved
