Abstract: Systems and methods to generate and reconfigure optical components are provided. A composition is provided that includes monomers that are activated by different polymerization mechanisms. A first monomer is polymerized to form an optical component in the composition. The optical component thus formed is reconfigured and the second monomer in the composition is then polymerized to fix the composition.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described to form a waveguide in a polymer multilayer comprising a first and second polymer layer. The waveguide may be formed by directing light beams toward the polymer multilayer to form first and second cladding regions in the polymer multilayer, where the first and second cladding regions comprise a mixture of the first and second polymer layers. The first and second cladding regions may define a third cladding region and a waveguide core therebetween, where the third cladding region comprises a portion of the second polymer layer, and the waveguide core comprises a portion of the first polymer layer. In some examples, the polymer multilayer may be formed on a substrate such that the waveguide is formed on the substrate. Additionally, the waveguide may be formed temporarily to test components of an optoelectronic system and then erased by heating the polymer multilayer to destroy the waveguide core, or the waveguide may be formed as a default optical interconnection configuration that may be changed to alter the functional mode of the backplane in the manner of a jumper setting.
