3-D Optical Wiring with Stacked Waveguide Films and Self-Organized Lightwave Network (SOLNET)

Three-dimensional (3-D) optical wiring is demonstrated by fabricating two types of 3-D optical circuits: "stacked waveguide films with surface-normal mirrors" and "waveguide films with vertical waveguides" using optical Z-connections and self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET)
