OPTICAL INTERCONNECTS
Polymer Waveguide Silicones for High Bandwidth Applications
System assembly using polymer waveguides can potentially be much lower in terms of cost and complexity, while also offering significantly higher bandwidth density. Best of all, they can be manufactured using conventional PCB methods.
