IWT: GBOU

Full Name: Generic Technologies for Plastic Photonics

Duration: 1/12/2001-1/12/2005 (Finished)

Partners:

  • VUB
  • RUG
  • UA
  • IMEC

Objective:

  • Plastic Micro-optic Structures and Components
  • Plastics for optical interconnects on PCB
  • Plastic micro-optics for heterogeneous InP/Si Photonic Integrated Circuits
  • Organic Photonic Materials
  • Photonic Plastic Devices

INTEC's Role:

  • Application of the optical layer
  • Laser ablation and direct-write patterning of the optical layer
  • Development of coupling technology to and from the optical layer
  • Characterisation of the connected optical layer
  • Optical design (InP/Si coupling structures + plastic micro-optics)
  • Bonding of InP thin films on Si polymer bonding layer
  • Proof-of-principle demonstration of heterogeneous integration
