“…Because of the short interconnection distances neither dispersion nor absorption will play a limiting factor on the maximum achievable bit rate. We have indeed already reported on the demonstration of a 2.48 Gb/s one-dimensional multi-channel module based on cylindrical micro-lenses fabricated with deep proton lithography [17]. In both cases we were only limited in bit-rate by our testing equipment.…”

“…It is however possible to use the individually fabricated components as masters and to electroplate them by a galvanoforming process similar to that used in the LIGA-technique [17,24]. With this process an inverse of the master is obtained that subsequently can be used as a mold for mass-replication.…”

“…The technology of deep proton lithography [17] in PMMA is a high precision rapid prototyping technology for the fabrication of micro-optical elements and micro-mechanical structures. With this technology different optical functions can be realized in one block to form monolithic micro-optical systems.…”

“…They either combine or embed rib wave-guides, individual fibers or imaging fiber-bundles into flexible [14,15] or rigid [16] modules. A second route is the use of free-space beam-shaping and beam-delivering micro-optical structures combined in compact hybrid or monolithic modules [17,18].…”

We report on the design, the fabrication, the characterization and the demonstration of scalable multi-channel free-space interconnection components with the potential for Tb/s.cm 2 aggregate bit rate capacity over inter-chip interconnection distances. The demonstrator components are fabricated in a high quality optical plastic, PMMA, using an ion-based rapid prototyping technology that we call deep proton lithography. With the presently achieved Gigabit/s data rates for each of the individual 16 channels with a BER smaller than 10 -13 and with inter-channel cross-talk lower than -22dB the module aims at optically interconnecting 2-D opto-electronic VCSEL and receiver arrays, flip-chip mounted on CMOS circuitry. Furthermore, using ray-tracing software and radiometric simulation tools, we perform a sensitivity analysis for misalignment and fabrication errors on these plastic micro-optical modules and we study industrial fabrication and material issues related to the mass-replication of these components through injection-molding techniques. Finally we provide evidence that these components can be mass-fabricated in dedicated, highly-advanced optical plastics at low cost and with the required precision.

The gain performance of 50-iun core diameter graded-index (GI) multimode europium aluminum benzyl methacrylate (Eu-Al/BzMA) waveguide was investigated by numerically solving rate and propagation equations using MATLAB. At a fixed waveguide length of 10 cm and gain medium concentration of 13 wt.%, optical gain was found to be dependent on pump power and input signal power. This paper utilized a 532 nm wavelength pump with power varied from 100 mW to 500 mW, together with low (-30 dBm) and high (0 dBm) input signal powers, within the amplification range of 580 to 640 nm wavelength. With the highest pumping power of 500 mW and the lowest input signal power of -30 dBm, a 29-dB optical gain with wavelength of 617 nm was observed from forward pumping amplification. For comparison, an identical waveguide in terms of properties was fabricated through an innovative fabrication method for polymer waveguide—the Mosquito method. The fabricated waveguide was then experimentally tested for -30 dBm input signal power with 200 mW pump power in the attempt to realize future real-world applications of short reach networks such as in Local Area Network (LAN) and in-vehicle optical interconnects.
