Abstract
The 3D fabrication of micro-optics and photonic architectures using organic materials are limited due to poor thermal and chemical stability. We are working on high-resolution 3D printing of photonic components using commercial ORMOCOMP® hybrid polymers. This solvent-free, thermally stable resin allows to limit the shrinkage between 4 and 6%. In this work, we optimize the femtosecond Direct Laser Writing process and we use 4D-printing by modulating the laser intensity during the process. In this presentation we will investigate the relationship between linear optical properties and 4D printing parameters in order to print a core-clad waveguide.
