Packaging of opto-electronic devices for flexible applications Universiteit Gent
This paper presents the latest results on the development of a thin flexible package of commercially available optoelectronics with polymer multimode waveguides. The GaAs VCSELs and Photodiodes are thinned down to 20 μ m thickness, resulting in packages which can be bended to a bending radius of 2 mm with high reliability. With these actives, also waveguides and out-of-plane coupling structures are embedded inside the foil. Flexible Polyimide ...
