Photonic Devices:

We have been working on various photonic devices such as variable optical attenuator, optical filter, optical switch, optical interconnection ribbon, polymer/sol-gel waveguide fanouts, etc for more than five years. A recent work on optical card-to-backplane interconnect is illustrated in Fig. 1
