Examples of Delivered Custom Polymer Based Prototypes

     
Chip and board level optical interconnection arrays --- Substrate bonded polymeric multimode waveguide arrays with out-of-plane I/O mirrors for VCSEL and PD's and board edge MT style interconnects have been delivered to numerous customer for prototype developmental applications.

 

Board level interconnections -Polymeric waveguide array interconnects with interconnections to daughter boards and 47 cm runs were delivered for prototype demos.

 

Component to optical fiber interconnections -- Free standing flex circuits for high data rate multimode interconnections with stacked arrays of 24 and 48 for VCSEL/PD to MT style OF array interconnects have been delivered in large numbers and were in beta testing before market issues postponed deployment.

 

Flexible jumpers-Freestanding flexible jumpers with MT style interconnections have been delivered for prototype developmental program demonstrations.

 

Multimode add drop multiplexers ---Using unique waveguide designs with imaged internal structures for low loss crossovers and inserted dielectric filters, multimode add-drop mux devices were delivered for an aerospace signal control distribution demonstration prototype.

 

Sensor / read heads----Using unique imaged internal structures sensor read heads have been configured for remote optical actuator position sensing.

 

Splitters / combiners ---Polymer multimode waveguide based 1 to 4 splitters and 4 to 1 combiners have been delivered with low loss and excellent balance for an optical aerospace control system demonstration.

 

Compact 1x16 splitter designs -Packaged polymeric 1x16 splitters the size of a pencil and about 10 cm long with MT 8/8 stacked outputs and FC input have been constructed and delivered with total loss of 13.5 dB and balance of +/- 0.5 dB.

1x16 Product Information Sheet 

Optical fan out distribution -- Novel single fiber input polymer guide fan-outs to mm spaced output arrays of hundreds of guides were provided for an optical position related application.

 

Fluidic biochip capillaries --- Using precise machining and film lamination techniques biochip capillaries with reservoirs have been constructed that offer high volume manufacturing potential. Combining the capillaries with the above noted waveguide sensors is under development for optical monitoring of fluidic channels.
