High-Performance Single-Mode Polymer Waveguide Devices for Chip-Scale Optical Interconnects

Here we present next generation polymer-based singlemode waveguide devices and architectures for chip-scale photonic interconnections. A suite of optical devices are developed showing record low propagation loss, high-performance signal/power routing, and high-density inter-layer coupling. Flexible waveguide ribbons are further demonstrated that are widely applicable across chip- and board-domains.
