This paper describes work on the development of a two-level lightwave circuit containing multimode polymer waveguides with 45/spl deg/ out-of-plane turning mirrors to communicate between the layers. The polymer waveguides and mirror structures are produced using a direct laser-writing system. The system is based on a He-Cd (325 nm) UV laser and a vertically mounted slotted base-plate which is used to align the polarising, routing and focussing optics that guide and focus three beams (at normal and /spl plusmn/45/spl deg/ angles) onto a computer controlled XY translation stage.
