Optical waveguides deformed by guided light

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Optical forces emerge when light travels through curved waveguides. This study presents experimental evidence that optical forces can cause significant mechanical deformation in micron-scaled curved optical waveguides made of a soft polymer material. The findings are further supported by an analytical model that considers the mechanical properties of the photopolymer waveguide.
