Femtosecond laser micromachining allows rapid and cost‐effective fabrication of thermally‐reconfigurable photonic integrated circuits with unique 3D geometries. Here we exploit thermally‐insulating 3D microstructures to decrease the power needed to induce a 2π phase shift down to 37 mW and to reduce the thermal crosstalk to a few percent for an inter‐waveguide separation down to 80 μm.
