Abstract :
The paper describes an optical analysis of the complete optical link on the PCB-level in regard to the optical coupling between interconnect components: vertical cavity surface-emitting laser array (VCSEL), micro-optical coupling elements, integrated waveguides and p-i-n-photodiode array. The optical coupling efficiency was evaluated using spatial coupling characteristics of the interface between micro-optics and waveguide as well as micro-optics and optoelectronic device. Especially, the investigation on the micro-optical coupling element was emphasized. The influence of technological processing of passive optical components on the optical loss was determined - the dependence of endface quality on the coupling efficiency
