Abstract

Optical waveguides were inscribed into a 300 µm-thick polymer layer applied onto standard printed circuit boards via two-photon-absorption. VCSELs and photodiodes embedded in this layer of ORMOCER® complemented optical interconnects for multi-Gbit/s data transmission at a wavelength of 850 nm.
