Abstract:
A method for integrating at least one device on a substrate, comprising the steps of:(a) coating a first side of said substrate with at least one layer including a core layer suitable for guiding light; (b) carving at least one recess in said first side of the substrate and said at least one layer; (c) mounting the at least one device in said at least one recess; (d) filling a portion of the recess surrounding the at least one device by a photosensitive material; (e) forming an optical waveguide coupled to said at least one device within said core layer; and (f) forming at least one optical deflector within the photosensitive material positioned between the at least one device and the optical waveguide; wherein said optical waveguide corresponds to a position of said at least one device relative to the substrate.
