  • Abstract
    Polymer waveguides are well suited for optical backplanes in avionic applications. The easy fabrication of complex waveguide structures is a major advantage over fiber based solutions. No critical behaviour of the polymers under environmental stress could be observed so far. However, the thermal stress has to be increased to allow extrapolation for longer lifecycles
