Abstract
We present an optical chip-to-chip coupling scheme with large misalignment tolerances. The coupling system is based on a multi-material platform with a polymer waveguide for the interconnection between chips. Simulation shows a position tolerance (3 dB coupling efficiency) of up to 1.0 µm when the polymer waveguide diameter equals 6.0 µm. The polymer waveguide can be easily fabricated by using a 3D laser lithography technique. Article not available.
