“…3 -8 In the domain of optical integrated (OI) devices, polymer materials especially offer various advantages with respect to others, such as low production cost, ease of manipulation and fabrication, high thermo-optic coefficients and high coupling efficiency to optical fibers. 3,9,10 The intrinsic high thermo-optic property presented on OI devices built on polymeric materials turns them attractive for data communications and multivariable biochemical treatments because they have an active region that is either very effective, sensitive or both. 11,12 Additionally, this property and the submicrometer size make them feasible optical devices for characterizing and monitoring novel configuration of thermal flow microheaters.…”

“…Among the photosensitive polymer materials exploited for integrated photonics applications [2], SU8 resist appears as an appropriate candidate, as demonstrated by numerous works in the literature. Indeed, UV-Lithography process on SU8 is compatible with optical requirements (for instance, a refractive index of 1.56 at 670 nm) and propagation losses of few dB/cm [3,4]. Additional steps involving plasma treatments have been demonstrated for improving these propagation losses [5].…”

Abstract:We report on optical components for integrated optics applications at the micro-and nanoscale. Versatile shapes and dimensions are achievable due to the liquid phase processability of SU8 resist. On the one hand, by adjusting the UV-lithography process, waveguiding structures are patterned and released from their original substrate. They can be replaced on any other substrate and also immerged in liquid wherein they still show off efficient light confinement. On the other hand, filled and hollow 1D-nanostructures are achievable by the wetting template method. By exploiting the large range of available SU8 viscosities, nanowires of diameter ranging between 50 nm and 240 nm, as well as nanotubes of controllable wall thickness are presented. Optical injection, propagation, and coupling in such nanostructures are relevant for highly integrated devices.

This paper introduces a preview of targeted current research on organic optofluidic materials and devices devoted to 3D photonics microresonators (MRs). First, such an approach takes advantage from a significant know-how on optical simulations of 3D spherical MRs by complementary and coupled ways based on electromagnetism and quantum mechanics principle. Such simulations have allowed to preset the quantization of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) and to define a new formulation of optical caustics in global 3D MRs cavities. Leaning from these simulations, an interdisciplinary approach has been achieved by combining microfluidics techniques and thin layer processes that allowed with flow rates control the realization of 3D droplets MRs of several tens of micrometers in radii. Finally, free-space optical characterizations have been performed on such 3D polymeric MRs by judicious protocols based, respectively, on a modified Raman spectroscopy laser excitation and an adequate direct beam waist optical coupling. Spectral analysis on such 3D MRs of various sizes confirms the excitation of the expected WGMs revealing free spectral range (FSR) and caustics values close to the analytical ones.
