ABSRACTA novel optical PCB with transmitter/receiver system boards and optical bakcplane was prepared, which is board-toboard interconnection by optical plug and slot. We report an 8Gb/s PRBS NRZ data transmission between transmitter system board and optical backplane embedded multimode polymeric waveguide arrays. The basic concept of ETRI's optical PCB is as follows; 1) Metal optical bench is integrated with optoelectronic devices, driver and receiver circuits, polymeric waveguide and access line PCB module. 2) Multimode polymeric waveguide inside an optical backplane, which is embedded into PCB. 3) Optical slot and plug for high-density(channel pitch : 500um) board-to-board interconnection. The polymeric waveguide technology can be used for transmission of data on transmitter/ receiver system boards and for backplane interconnections. The main components are low-loss tapered polymeric waveguides and a novel optical plug and slot for board-to-board interconnections, respectively. The optical PCB is characteristic of low coupling loss, easy insertion/extraction of the boards and, especially, reliable optical coupling unaffected from external environment after board insertion.

“…In order to overcome the bottleneck, new interconnection technologies have to be developed, where optoelectronic interconnects may offer attractive solutions [10], [11]. Considerable attention is recently paid to parallel fiber interconnects offering aggregate bit rates up to several 10 Gb/s for up to a few hundred meters transmission distance [12]- [16]. For these low cost modules, linear arrays of VCSELs are employed as light sources due to a number of advantages over conventional edge emitting laser diodes or even light emitting diodes.…”

We introduce a new layout for high-bandwidth single-mode selectively oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays operating at 980 nm or 850 nm emission wavelength for substrate or epitaxial side emission. Coplanar feeding lines and polyimide passivation are used to reduce electrical parasitics in top-emitting GaAs and bottom-emitting InGaAs VCSELs. In order to enhance fundamental single-mode emission for larger devices of reduced series resistance a surface relief transverse mode filter is employed. Fabricated VCSELs are applied in various interconnect schemes.In detail, InGaAs quantum-well based VCSELs at 935 nm emission wavelength are investigated for use in perfluorinated graded-index plastic-optical fiber (GI-POF) links. We obtain a 7 Gb/s pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data transmission over 80 m long 155 m diameter GI-POF. We investigate data transmission over standard 1300 nm, 9 m core diameter single-mode fiber with selectively oxidized single-mode GaAs and InGaAs VCSELs. We achieve biased 3 Gb/s and bias-free 1 Gb/s pseudo-random data transmission over 4.3 km at 830 nm emission wavelength where a simple fiber mode filter is used to suppress intermodal dispersion caused by the second order fiber mode. For the first time, we demonstrate 12.5 Gb/s data rate transmission of PRBS signals over 100 m graded-index multimode fiber or 1 km single-mode fiber using high performance single-mode GaAs VCSELs of 12.3 GHz modulation bandwidth emitting at = 850 nm. Longer wavelength InGaAs VCSELs with emission at = 1130 nm are used to transmit 2.5 Gb/s signals over 10 km of 9 m standard single-mode fiber. For all data transmission experiments bit-error rates (BER) remain better than 10 11 for transmission of PRBS signals for back-to-back (BTB) testing as well as for fiber transmission.

Vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays are designed and used for 10-channel parallel optical data links, OPTOBUS™, to transmit data at a speed of up to 800 Mbits/s per channel. The interface between the VCSELs and the optical fiber ribbons is based on molded plastic waveguide technology. A bit error rate of 10 Ϫ15 is demonstrated.
