ABSTRACT:
A micromanipulator and UV curing adhesive allows a precise end-on coupling of an optical fiber to a film optical waveguide on a substrate. Such a coupling facilitates the optical processing of data on active or passive optoelectronic chips with the inherent advantages of parallel, high speed capability. After coarse
