Abstract
Systems and methods for nanofiller in an optical interface are provided. One system includes a fiber-optic interface for one or more optical fibers that includes a body including one or more grooves defined therein. At least one groove in the one or more grooves is configured to receive a corresponding optical fiber of the one or more optical fibers. The at least one groove of the one or more grooves is further configured to receive an adhesive to attach the body to a portion of the corresponding optical fiber. Further, fiber-optic interface includes a suspended structure associated with the at least one groove configured to couple light between the suspended structure and the corresponding optical fiber. Also, the adhesive comprises nanofiller configured to support an alignment of the suspended structure with the corresponding optical fiber within the at least one groove.
