Abstract :
We report on a card-to-card optical interconnect demonstrator with passively aligned butt-coupled optoelectronic modules onto waveguides embedded into the printed circuit board (PCB). After describing selected building blocks, we will present experimental results obtained with the demonstrator hardware consisting of a parallel 12-channel at 10 Gb/s (120 Gb/s) optical card-to-card link.
