We report on the design and fabrication of hard and flexible optical printed circuit boards (O-PCBs). The objective is to realize generic and application-specific O-PCBs, either in hard form or flexible form, that are compact, light-weight, low-energy, high-speed, intelligent, and environmentally friendly, for low-cost and high-volume universal applications. The O-PCBs consist of 2-dimensional planar arrays of micro/nano-scale optical wires, circuits and devices that are interconnected and integrated to perform the functions of sensing, storing, transporting, processing, switching, routing and distributing optical signals on flat modular boards. For fabrication, the polymer and organic optical wires and waveguides are first fabricated on a board and are used to interconnect and integrate micro/nano-scale photonic devices. The micro/nano-optical functional devices include lasers, detectors, switches, sensors, directional couplers, multi-mode interference devices, ring-resonators, photonic crystal devices, plasmonic devices, and quantum devices. For flexible boards, the optical waveguide arrays are fabricated on flexible polyethylen terephthalate (PET) substrates by UV embossing. Electrical layer carrying VCSEL and PD array is laminated with the optical layer carrying waveguide arrays. Both hard and flexible electrical lines are replaced with high speed optical interconnection between chips over four waveguide channels up to 10Gbps on each. We discuss uses of hard or flexible O-PCBs for telecommunication systems, computer systems, transportation systems, space/avionic systems, and bio-sensor systems.

“…Since the discovery of the light emittance from nanocrystalline Si (nc-Si), nc-Si thin films have attracted much attention in optoelectronic industry. In particular, nc-Si films can be easily compatible with Si-based integrated electronic circuits; a very large scale integration (VLSI) of micro/nano-photonics devices is an area of increasing importance in the optical information technology [3,4] and the synergic effect of applying the Si photonics to the VLSI electronic systems is expected to bring enormous scientific as well as technological improvements in optoelectronic systems. It has also been known that the optical characteristics of the nc-Si films are critically determined by the nanostructure of the films.…”

“…Therefore, they will be one of the most suitab le devices for realizing photonics integrated circuits utilizing cost-effective materials such as optical printed circuit board (OPCB) or VLSI photonic circuits. [7][8] In this work, the diffraction characteristics of an out-of-plane grating coupler to vertically couple light from the polymer waveguide into an optical fiber have been investigated. To obtain high coupling performance, a focusing waveguide grating coupler (FWGC) is introduced.…”

A polymer waveguide grating coupler to vertically couple light between planar waveguide and fiber is proposed and designed. In order to estimate the coupling performance of the proposed coupler with curved and chirped grating, the diffraction characteristics of the waveguide grating with a uniform period as an in/out out-of-plane coupler are investigated. The coupling efficiency and coupling length exhibiting the diffraction characteristics of a uniform waveguide grating with various structure parameters are calculated based on Bloch-wave analysis. With the optimized structure parameters showing the high coupling performance, the overall coupling efficiency of the polymer waveguide grating coupler is obtained by introducing 2D Bloch-wave analysis-based local linear grating model. The calculated overall coupling efficiency of the coupler is determined to be approximately 30%.
