摘要
This paper reports on the optical properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a high-performance optical material system for optical interconnects. It is shown that optical PDMS layers laminated into printed circuit boards meet the requirements for low cost, low loss (0.06 dB/cm at 850 nm), high temperature (> 290 degrees C) stable and mechanically robust electrical-optical circuit boards. A first production line for optical waveguide layers will be discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
