Abstract
A method of manufacturing a coupling element configured to couple light between an optical device and one or more optical fiber comprises forming one or more waveguide in the silica. The one or more waveguide having a refractive index configured to guide the light between the optical device and the optical fiber. The forming of the one or more waveguide comprises photo-inducing a refractive index variation of the silica material.
