  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate intra- and inter- board optical interconnects utilizing molded waveguides and mirror couplers with inkjet-printed microlenses. 10 Gbps Data transmission reveals inter-board interconnects with BER 1.1×10-10 and 6.2×10-13 without and with micro-lenses, respectively.
