A fully passive, optical fiber connectivity solution for polymer waveguides embedded in electro-optical printed circuit boards (EOCB) is described and its preliminary results for single-mode applications demonstrated. The connectivity solution is based on a pluggable glass-fiber connector interface and a self-alignment packaging technology using high-precision silicon V-grooves. The V-grooves provide precise positioning of the glassfiber relative to the polymer waveguide through alignment structures on the EOCB, patterned in the same laser direct writing fabrication step as the waveguide core. We realized an EOCB module with an LC-connector pluggable adaptor interface assembled on one side of the EOCB. With this module, we were able to prove for the first time the usability of our connectivity solution for single-mode applications. Coupling losses as low as 1.2 dB between a standard LC-connector and the single-mode polymer waveguide embedded into the EOCB have been reached. This passive packaging solution provides a cost-effective optical connectivity to waveguides in EOCBs, which will be required in future generations of optical interconnects.

Abstract. In celebration of the 2015 International Year of Light, we highlight major breakthroughs in photonics for energy conversion and conservation. The section on energy conversion discusses the role of light in solar light harvesting for electrical and thermal power generation; chemical energy conversion and fuel generation; as well as photonic sensors for energy applications. The section on energy conservation focuses on solid-state lighting, flat-panel displays, and optical communications and interconnects.

Optical principle embedded image analysis can effectively improve the accuracy of image recognition, but there is a problem of low efficiency and high computational complexity. In view of the above problems, we design an image fusion mechanism based on an optical embedded scheme. We have proposed the optical image space, which is a three-dimensional space coordinate system. Each sample point of the system represents a spot. Light points in the image are described using three quantities, which are light intensity, image concentration, and light. An embedded optical image analysis model is proposed. We use a mobile embedding scheme to map multiple points of light into the same optical surface. Optical crowd block structure was proposed for increasing image data in an optical image system. The structure can improve the continuity of the image regions in different coordinate systems. The mechanism of crowd fusion for mobile embedded images is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed mechanism is superior in the aspects of image recognition accuracy and algorithm execution cost.
