A new system called FS-BOC facilitates the fabrication of connections between photonic components and board-level circuits and optical fibers in photonic chips.
Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. The polymers can be used to easily create interconnects between photonic chips and optical printed circuit boards, the light-based equivalent of electronic printed circuit boards.
