Photolithography-free polymer optical waveguide arrays for optical backplane bus.
In this paper, an innovative 3-to-3 bi-directional optical bus architecture based on multimode polymer waveguides with embedded 45° micro-mirrors was successfully demonstrated. With a lithography-free imprinting process by high quality electroplated metallic mold, the device can be precisely replicated with a low fabrication cost. Superior to any point-to-point optical waveguide, the implemente...
متن کاملPolymer optical waveguide based bi-directional optical bus architecture for high speed optical backplane
With the technology trend of using optical interconnects as an alternative to traditional copper interconnects, basic elements such as waveguides and waveguide bus structure are studied worldwide. A novel 3-node bi-directional 50μm optical waveguide bus architecture with embedded mirrors is proposed and fabricated on flexible substrate. The fabrication is achieved by lithography-free molding. D...
متن کاملOptoelectronic Packaging for 16-Channel Optical Backplane Bus with VHOEs
A novel 16-channel optical backplane bus with volume holographic optical elements (VHOEs), operating as diffraction grating beam alignment guides, was designed and fabricated for a high-performance computing system multi-slot bus. These thin film VHOEs were fabricated to diffract light beams for each bus slot into a glass wave-guiding plate (refractive index 1.52) for total internal reflection ...
متن کاملObservation of defect-free surface modes in optical waveguide arrays.
We report on the experimental observation of novel defect-free surface modes predicted theoretically for modulated photonic lattices [I. L. Garanovich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 203904 (2008)10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.203904]. We generate the linear surface modes in truncated arrays of periodically curved optical waveguides created in fused silica by a laser direct-writing technique. Our result...
متن کاملSoliton-based optical switching in waveguide arrays
We analyze the propagation of discrete solitons in a periodic system of weakly coupled nonlinear optical waveguides, i.e., a waveguide array. Soliton reflection, transmission, and trapping, as well as coherent and incoherent interaction with a linear guided wave [which can exist owing to defect (inhomogeneous) coupling between two neighboring waveguides], are demonstrated numerically and invest...
