Abstract |
During the last two decades, ion-exchange techniques on glass substrates have largely demonstrated their capacity to form channel waveguides with very low propagation losses, nearly perfect coupling efficiency with single mode optical fibers and small bending radii for compact designs. Based on that technique and on the development of custom made silicate and phosphate glasses dedicated to the Ag+/Na+ ion-exchange, Teem Photonics commercializes for 10 years passive and active integrated optics components mainly for telecom and sensors markets. The achieved performances for some commercialized components like 1xN and 2xN splitters, fiber spacing concentrator (FSC) interface components, pump multiplexers, erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers (EDWA), distributed feed back (DFB) lasers and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) sources will be presented. Perspectives of Teem’s technology platform will also be developped.
