3D-Printed Optics for Wafer-Scale Probing

Applied Physics 2018-09-03 v1

Abstract

Mass production of photonic integrated circuits requires high-throughput wafer-level testing. We demonstrate that optical probes equipped with 3D-printed elements allow for efficient coupling of light to etched facets of nanophotonic waveguides. The technique is widely applicable to different integration platforms.
