Micro/nanoscale self-aligned optical couplings of the self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET) formed by excitation lights from outside
Abstract The self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET) provides “optical solder,” which enables self-aligned optical couplings between misaligned optical devices with different core sizes. We propose a low-cost SOLNET formation method, in which...
