Abstract
We demonstrated the first flexible photonics lightwave circuits in glasses. The waveguide was written in ≤100μm thick Corning® Willow® Glass by a spatially and temporally shaped femtosecond ultrafast laser beam with processing speed up to 50mm/s. The flexible glass waveguide shows superior loss performance of 0.11dB/cm at λ=1550nm, with negligible bending loss down to a radius of 6.7cm.
