Abstract

Realizing electrical printed circuit boards with integrated optical interconnects for high bandwidth interconnects requires numerical models and algorithms for analyzing and optimising process parameters. In this paper an approach for the numerical computation of the refractive index profile of waveguides manufactored by ion-exchange processes is presented.
