Abstract
An integrated polymer microtoroid resonator system fabricated using single-step, two-photon polymerization laser lithography is reported. The integrated microtoroid-waveguide system includes an integrated coupling waveguide for ease of optical coupling and has a quality factor of 16,000. We further demonstrate a nested doublespiral waveguide that allows higher spatial density of data, akin to a macroscopic form of space-division multiplexing. Experimental characterization reveals good transmission properties in the double-spiral waveguide device. In addition, the waveguides are demonstrated to support 30 Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero and 28 Gb/s pulse amplitude modulation 4 high-speed data. (C) 2021 Chinese Laser Press
