在本文中，我们报道了在柔性基板上嵌入 45 个阳性微镜的聚合物光波导阵列的高速光学测试，用于平面外光学互连。波导阵列被弯曲，曲率范围为61毫米至5毫米。随着弯曲半径的减小，单模光纤 (SMF) 耦合的平均插入损耗从 3.4 dB 增加到 7.7 dB，多模光纤 (MMF) 耦合的平均插入损耗从 5.5 dB 增加到 7.9 dB。这种弯曲条件下的眼图显示，在 10 Gbps 时，Q 因子从 8.0 降低到 6.1，计算出的误码率 (BER) 从 10(-16) 增加到 10(-10)。
In this paper, we reported high speed optical test on polymeric optical waveguide array with embedded 45 masculine micro-mirrors on flexible substrate for out-of-plane optical interconnects. The waveguide array was bent with curvature ranging from 61 mm to 5mm. As the bending radius decreases, the average insertion loss increases from 3.4 dB to 7.7 dB for single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling and from 5.5 dB to 7.9 dB for multi-mode fiber (MMF) coupling, respectively. Eye-diagrams under such bending conditions show that the Q factor decreases from 8.0 to 6.1 and the calculated bit error rate (BER) increases from 10(-16) to 10(-10) at 10 Gbps.
