Abstract :
For optical-electrical (O/E) integration of polymer waveguide devices, a polymer optical bench with embedded-electric-circuits was developed and realized by using the UV-embossing technology. An upside-down mounted polymer waveguide device showed not only more efficient fiber-chip coupling but also a good electrical contact.
