Abstract

A high-speed large-capacity optical printed circuit board (OPCB) for next-generation high-capacity routers and servers was developed. This OPCB is composed of a multilayer polymer optical waveguide, a receiver optical input/output (I/O) module (with a lens-integrated photodiode and a SiGe transimpedance amplifier), and a low-power (7.1 mW/Gb/s) transmitter optical I/O module consisting of a lens-integrated surface-emitting laser and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) driver IC. A 1-Tb/s (20 Gb/s/ch × 48 ch per transmitter or receiver) large-capacity OPCB prototype was fabricated and demonstrated 20-Gb/s/ch operation.
