摘要
对应用于宽带光互连的光印刷电路板(OPCB)制备技术进行了研究。作为光互连系统的传输介质,我们研究了互连光波导的性能。基于紫外光刻技术,在常规PCB基底上制备了聚合物光波导,研究了光波导的制备流程以及工艺参数;并且通过不断优化工艺参数,制备得到了低损耗的光波导;通过测试光波导的传输损耗以及眼图,分析了光波导的性能。光波导在850nm波长条件下的传输损耗可以达到0.13dB/cm,实现了10Gbit/s光通信信号的传输。
This work investigates the fabrication technique of an optical printed circuit board (OPCB) for broadband optical interconnection applications. We study the properties of the interconnect optical waveguide. We fabricate the interconnect polymer optical waveguide by using the UV photolithography method on a standard PCB. This paper presents the process and the technological parameters of the fab- rication. Low-loss polymer optical interconnect waveguides are fabricated by optimizing the technological parameters. The length of the optical waveguide is 10 crru The size of the waveguide is 50/μm X 50/μm. After the fabrication, the performance of the OPCB is characterized by testing the transmission loss and eye diagram of the optical waveguide. The index matching liquid is used when we test the propagation loss of the waveguide. It could reduce the coupling loss between the fiber and the waveguide efficiently. The optical propagation loss of the interconnect polymer optical waveguide is 0.13 dB/cm at the wave- length of 850 nm. A 10 Gbit/s pbs transmission is realized based on the OPCB. The eye diagram under the 10Gbit/s signal is good. The interconnect optical waveguide could be used in the high speed and long distance communication systems.
