Chapter
The integration of the knowledge of different engineering disciplines to build a three-dimensional optical short-range interconnect system is the core of this book. For this purpose, the physical and technological principles of optical technologies have to be considered. The focus here is on optical transmission technology. Attenuation, the propaga...
Chapter
This research presents an advanced fabrication process of aerosol jet printed polymer optical waveguides onto 2D and 3D surfaces. The key advantage of the aerosol printed polymer optical waveguides is the capability of the process to print directly on desired surfaces, which significantly reduced the cost for new/customization production. Comprehen...
Chapter
The current development in the field of information and data transmission is driven by a constantly growing amount of data generated worldwide. Photonics offers promising high-speed data transmission, while traditional electrical connections reach their limits. This is particularly evident when comparing energy efficiency and space requirements. In...
Chapter
The central question for Chap. 6 is how to connect optical multimode waveguides without interruption. Such systems are needed in device communication for the bus coupling of 3D-Opto-MID. A novel coupling concept (AOBC: asymmetrical optical bus coupler) is presented in this chapter. By coupling two cores at the side surfaces, it is possible to reali...
Article
In this article, we give an overview of the development of an asymmetric optical bus coupler (AOBC) from the theoretical basis, the optical continuous wave, and bit rate performance to the implementation in a 3-D-Opto-MID package. The coupler allows for an interruption-free and bidirectional connection between two multimode waveguides, with differe...
Conference Paper
Printing polymer optical waveguides by means of combined printing processes has proven to be a challenging but effective way of producing waveguides with a loss less than 0.3dB/cm. In order to evaluate the optical performance of the produced waveguides, optical simulations have been carried out. In this work we show the influence on the optical per...
Article
To improve printing results, a printing form can be functionalized and the material transferring behavior can be adjusted. In this work, a flexographic printing form is divided into three different areas: first the elevated, material transferring structures (1); second the rising edges between the printing form substrate and the elevated structures...
Article
This article presents an innovative way for additive manufacturing of optical multimode waveguides for short range data transmission. By the use of aerosol jet printing between conditioning lines on flexible foils, low cost and low weight polymer optical waveguides can be easily fabricated. The main advantages – compared to other waveguide manufact...
Conference Paper
Recent fabrication methods print polymer optical waveguides (POWs) on three-dimensional carriers. The special geometry of the POWs enables the realisation of an optical ray splitter which is simulated by raytracing using a new bisection-algorithm.
Conference Paper
This paper shows the modeling, simulation and production of polymer optical waveguides using the OPTAVER process. The additive manufactured multimode waveguides with their typical cross-section of a circle shape are of low cost and high-performance.
Article
This contribution discusses technology development for the realization of chip-to-chip interconnection based on flexible optical waveguides. Two approaches for optical coupling between waveguides and active devices are presented. Both approaches built on the planar polymeric optical multimode waveguides integrated on flexible substrates (PEN-foil)....

Research for new production chains in the field of waveguide fabrication is a challenging task. Realizing a cost efficient manufacturing process allows integrating optical data communication in arbitrary structures, for example, the wing of an airplane or the body of a car. The production chain described in this paper contains the design, simulatio...

In this article we present a bidirectional interruption-free multimode waveguide coupler for optical bus systems on board an module level. The principle is based on directional core-core-coupling and allows for adjustable coupling powers by tuning the overlap area. By adding a bending to one of the coupling partners it is possible to obtain specifi...

In this article, we present a coupling concept for an interruption-free asymmetric bidirectional optical bus coupler for board and module level. With this approach, it is possible to connect several electro-optical devices to a single waveguide. A core-to-core connection principle is used, where the cores get into physical contact at their side fac...
Conference Paper
As a tribute to the continuously increasing volume of data traffic, optical waveguides have become a serious alternative to electrical circuitries. The potential of precise spaceresolved strain measurements or the capacity to transmit very large amounts of data are two examples of the beneficial use of optical systems. Apart from the general advant...

The printing of polymer optical waveguides is part of the current research in functional printing technology. Optimizing the transmission quality and the resolution are key objectives to establish integrated optical data transmission in the industry.

Goal of the presented work is the development of an optical bus-coupler, which enables easy connection between two waveguides without interrupting the bus. It is possible to realize optical bus systems by connecting several modules onto one waveguide with a core-core-coupler. In this paper we present the concept of a bus-coupler, which is suitable...
Conference Paper
In our work an optical bus-coupler is proposed, which enables easy bidirectional connection between two waveguides without interrupting the bus using a core-to-core coupling principle. With bended waveguides the coupling ratio can be tuned by adjusting the overlap area of the two cores. In order to ensure large overlap areas at short coupling lengt...
Conference Paper
The main package technologies for fiber coupled lasers are single emitter packages such as modified TO-packages or High Heat Load packages. In both cases, the packaging costs are significantly higher than the costs of the single laser diode. Furthermore, the scalability of the optical output power is only possible by varying the input current. Due...
