“…Just for possible interest: the obtained values of optical losses are comparable with presented data in [23] 0.6 dB/cm (1550 nm), <0.1 (850 nm) and [24] 0.34 dB/cm (1310 nm) or 0.05 dB/cm 850 nm [19], but it must be kept in mind the above mentioned data were given for ridge waveguides. …”

The drive to faster data transmission speeds, more integration, smaller form factors and higher signal integrity all favor the eventual adoption of optical transmission schemes in data buses. This contribution will discuss emerging technologies from Shipley Company, LLC 1 to address the needs of optoelectronic signal transmission. In particular, the discussion will focus on materials and processes that are in development to function within existing printed circuit board (PCB) & microelectronic manufacturing schemes. One topic that is described in detail involves photopatternable, polymer interconnect technologies. Another topic describes progress in Shipley's ability to integrate these interconnects into prototypical PCB processes. Progress in connecting the planar waveguides to connectorization schemes will be also be described. Other topics include lithographic and patterning metrics, optical characteristics of interconnects, morphological features of patterned waveguides, integration and coupling considerations, thermal and mechanical properties of the system and general assembly processes.

“…Electro-optical circuit boards (EOCBs) are a unique way to reduce crosstalk in electro-magnetic inflicted environments [1]. Optical communication enables high data rates compared to electronic connections with distances exceeding 10 mm [2,3]. Establishing optical waveguides in printed circuit board (PCB) is still held back due to manufacturing reasons: manufacturing and assembly processes surpass the classic electronic specifications, thus increasing costs.…”

Electro-optical circuit boards (EOCBs) offer great potential for short-ranged data transmission in highly electro-magnetic inflicted environments. Finding a cost-efficient way to manufacture EOCB only using additive printing processes could establish, increase, and secure data transmission in PCB systems. Flexo printing is an efficient manufacturing process that combines high contour resolution and layout flexibility to create optical waveguides. Previous research has shown that printing waveguides on a polymethylmethacrylate substrate can enable optical data transmission for up to 20 cm. However, a thermo-resistant polyimide (PI) substrate is needed to integrate printed waveguides into PCB. Since PI does not meet optical demands, waveguide cores must be separated by printed optical cladding. This research aims to investigate the additive printing process, which stacks various polymers to achieve waveguides that are ready for integration. Further, the integration in PCB is validated according to functional testing of the optical structures. An entire manufacturing process for printed EOCB is presented, which enables the investigation of optical coupling processes in upcoming research.
