Organic-inorganic hybrid material, “SUNCONNECT®” for optical interconnects

In this paper, we report on the applications, as SM optical waveguides as well as lens arrays for optical connectors, of our organic-inorganic hybrid material, “SUNCONNECT®”. With respect to waveguide application, fabrication and optical property of GI (graded-index) optical waveguide and SI (step-index) optical waveguide was explained. In addition, lens array for optical coupling was fabricated by using conventional imprint mold.
