Towards Low Cost Coupling Structures for Short-Distance Optical Interconnections

The performance of short distance optical interconnections in general relies very strongly on coupling structures, since they will determine the overall efficiency of the system to a large extent. Different configurations can be considered and a variety of manufacturing technologies can be used. We present two different discrete and two different integrated coupling components which can be used to deflect the light beam over 90 degrees and can play a crucial role when integrating optical interconnections in printed circuit boards. The fabrication process of the different coupling structures is discussed and experimental results are shown. The main characteristics of the coupling structures are given. The main advantages and disadvantages of the different components are discussed

Opto-PCB: Three demonstrators for optical interconnections

We report on a research project targeting optical waveguide integrated PCBs conducted within the European FP6 Network of Excellence on Micro-Optics NEMO. For three identified feature requests we have built three specific demonstrators respectively addressing the integration of active components, the fabrication of peripheral fibre ribbons and the integration of multiple layers of waveguides on the board
