5-Gb/s Chip-to-chip Optical Interconnection Using Polymeric Waveguides

A chip-to-chip optical interconnection system using polymeric waveguide was fabricated. Hot-embossing technique was used to fabricate polymeric waveguide. Thermally stable polycarbonate as a clad material and UV-curable epoxy resin as a core material were used for optical waveguides. Eye diagram was successfully measured at the speed of 5 Gb/s/ch.
