Abstract
A photoinduced refractive index-changing material is coupled directly to both a first port and a second port. An optical interconnect structure (for optically coupling the first port to the second port) is formable in the photoinduced refractive index-changing material by selectively exposing a portion of the photoinduced refractive index-changing material. The selective exposure induces a refractive index change in the photoinduced refractive index-changing material. The change in refractive index provides the waveguiding properties of the optical interconnect structure.
