HDPUG / Dow Corning
Waveguide functional metrics * Material loss (SMF input, low-mode fill)
* Waveguide propagation loss (MMF input, high-mode fill)
* Channel loss at = 850 nm, loss spectra over = 600..1600 nm
* Bending loss in-plane (imaged guides) vs. ROC
* Crossover loss per cross per crossing angle
* Coupling loss with fibers
* Waveguide dispersion (1.4m 35” spiral)
* Any effect on optical properties
(refractive index, transmission)
per base material (FR-4, hal-free)
Waveguide links with connectors * Reflective Back Reflection Return Loss (OTDR)
* Signal integrity analysis (eye diagram, jitter, extinction ratio)

Standardization Activities – IEC TC86 JWG 9

IEC 62496-2 General Guidance for Test and Measurement
for Optical Circuit Boards (Draft)
• HDP is conducting WG testing as round robin
• 14L PCBs with WGs; three (3) WGs
suppliers; five (5) testing resources
• Primary test: Insertion loss @ 850nm
• Straight, 90 bends, cascaded
bends, spiral 1.4m
• Measurement conditions to be documented
per IEC 62496-2 draft waveguide test
numbering (WTN) guideline
• Collaboration with IEC TC86 for joint effort
• Measurement repeatability is crucial for future
commercial deployment of embedded optical
waveguide technology
• Repeatability of waveguide measurements
still very difficult to achieve due to lack of
clarity on how measurements are specified

Conclusions
• TTM scope to provide “pipe clean” path of the optical technology for a integration in future products
• O/E PCB development objects full compliance with panel scale fabrication and product form factors
• Complex board fabrication experience combined with high volume capabilities -> Competitive cost/performance and quick ramp-up from development to H/V
• Optical on-board is collaborative effort. End-Users and OEMs need to provide clear roadmaps for products & applications, supply chain to work together for solutions
