Abstract
An optical waveguide assembly is disclosed. The optical waveguide assembly includes having a substrate face, a cladding disposed on the substrate, and a waveguide core disposed within the cladding. The waveguide core has a waveguide core face such that the waveguide core face is aligned with the substrate face. The assembly further comprises a fiber support assembly having a support face in contact with the substrate face and a fiber having a fiber core face optically aligned with the waveguide core face. Non-adhesive means fixedly connects the substrate face to the support face. A method of non-adhesively bonding an optical waveguide to a fiber support is also disclosed.
