ABSTRACT

Optical waveguide films with vertical mirrors are backbone for

the 3-D OE platform and one of the core technologies in optical

electronics. Vertical mirrors in the optical waveguide films are

necessary for couplings between the optical waveguides and optical

devices such as VCSELs and PDs in the optical waveguide films. The

verticalmirrors are also used for optical Z-connections in 3-D optical

circuits consisting of stacked waveguide films.
