Popis: This paper presented the design and development of polymer optical modulators for 10 Gb optical transceivers and planar integration of laser and modulator on the same substrate to achieve functional integration. Polymer based waveguide design and simulation results are provided. Results of optical coupling design between laser diode and polymer waveguide and back reflection studies are included. The application of novel methods of cost reduction for optical transceivers like uncooled laser operation through J-down assembly for DWDM transceivers is also discussed and thermal simulation results are presented. This solution gives a better thermal performance without compromising on optical performance and reduces the cost of optical modules.
