In this week’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Chris Summitt to talk about a new fabrication process of a polymer out-of-plane optical coupler by gray-scale lithography. Dr. Summitt discusses the motivation for optical ship interconnects, the limitations on fabrication methods, and his novel technique and results. We additionally discuss the fit of graduate school for students as well as learn some of Dr. Summitts secret techniques for maintaining a healthy balance while a student.
As always we look forward to your feedback and comments!
