Opto-electronic circuit boards - 5

01.03.2008 - 28.02.2009
Assigned research project
We investigate the adequacy of VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) and of photodiodes for realising integrated optical connections on circuit boards. With this concept, light guidance between the electro-optic devices occurs in a thin layer of a polymer, into which an optical waveguide has been inscribed using two-photon absorption. Our task within this project sponsored by the Austrian Nano-Initiative consists of characterising the devices involved with respect to their data transmission properties at a wavelength of 850 nm and in determining the maximum data rate that can be achieved with this technology.
