Competitive Evaluation of Planar Embedded Glass and Polymer Waveguides in Data Center Environments

Optical printed circuit board (OPCB) waveguide materials and fabrication methods have advanced considerably over the past 15 years, giving rise to two classes of embedded planar graded index waveguide based on polymer and glass. We consider the performance of these two emerging waveguide classes in...
