2010-02-08 | C-LAB demonstrates the pluggable optical „board-to-board“ connection

At this year’s IEEE Photonics Winter Topicals Conference in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Siemens AG, SIS C-LAB demonstrated the concept of a pluggable optical interconnection technique for optical “board-to-board” connections in cooperation with vario-optics ag and Tyco Electronics Ltd. Therefore an optical 12 channels transmission system demonstrator was built of 12 parallel polymer waveguides being planar integrated into the circuit boards. The total length of the waveguide system is 48 cm, the total width is smaller than 3 mm. The demonstrator runs with 3.2 Gbps/channel and transfers the 12 signals along three optically connected boards in a card-backplane-card like structure. The cards can be plugged while the demonstrator is running. Additionally each card has a plug connection for fibers or an electro-optical converter module. The concept can be scaled up to support data rates above 10 Gbps/channel.
