IEEE Study Describes Polymer Waveguides for Reliable, High-Capacity Optical Communication
Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology requires reliable laser sources, either integrated or external, for operation. Since integrated laser sources are associated with reliability challenges, researchers are increasingly exploring CPO systems with external sources. Recently, polymer waveguides fabricated on glass-epoxy substrates have emerged as a reliable solution for transmitting laser signals from external sources to photonic circuits. Researchers from Japan have now demonstrated the suitability of these waveguides for use in CPO systems.
Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can integrate photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs) like CPUs and GPUs on a single platform. This advanced technology … Read More → "IEEE Study Describes Polymer Waveguides for Reliable, High-Capacity Optical Communication"
