🎓 After +4 years of R&D work, I obtained my PhD in Photonics Engineering!
Last week Thursday, I publicly defended my work, titled "Broadband Chip-to-Fiber Coupling Using Polymer Waveguides: An Alignment-Tolerant Interface for Co-Packaged Optics".
Are polymer temperature sensors influenced by thermal curing? Absolutely!
In our latest publication in Optics & Laser Technology we fabricated UV-cured polymer self-written waveguides. With this structure, printed on an SMF end-tip, we attained:
