Abstract

The present application relates to the manufacture of optical components. More particularly, the present application provides a method of manufacturing an optical component (1) having a waveguide (2) for providing an optical path between at least one input (7) and at least one output (8). The method itself comprises the initial step of providing a first layer of inactive photopolymerisable material comprising a monomer. A following step deposits a patterned second layer comprising an activating component to define the shape of the at least one waveguide of the optical component on the first layer. A final step exposes the layers to a light source to cause the polymerisation of the monomer in the region defined by the pattered second layer.
