Abstract
The present technology is related to optics and optical systems, particularly to photonic packaging, optical coupling, optical interconnects, micro-optics, and their fabrication. The present technology includes free-form micro-optical coupler architectures and systems with superb optical performance and a high-throughput method of fabricating large-area coupler arrays for scalable manufacturing. Embodiments include chip-to-fiber-array, chip-to-chip, chip-to-interposer, and chip-to-free-space couplers for applications including photonic packaging, optical communications, LiDAR, optical trapping and manipulation, augmented reality, virtual reality, and sensing.
