Use of cross-couplers to decrease size of UV written photonic circuits

We demonstrate compact cross-couplers for fiber-pigtailed photonic circuitry produced by direct ultraviolet writing. A new design solution has been applied to shorten the device in length by 400% while keeping the bend loss at a level of <0.1 dB, which allows the use of cross-couplers in more com...
