As end users continue to demand greater bandwidth in optical and wireless communication, so data-rate demand increases in high-end systems for switching and routing. A major bottleneck that is fast approaching in such systems is the backplane which links daughter boards with switching and control boards. To ease this bottleneck the next generation of backplanes is being developed which includes optical waveguides – a technology which enables ultra-high bandwidth and the design freedom of more distributed architectures.

Optical backplanes developed in the past, often for military applications, are seen to be a poor solution for telecom/datacom systems due to their poor compatibility with low-cost PCB manufacturing techniques. A market review by BPA Consulting predicts that there will be an explosion of use in optical backplanes by a factor of ~100 times from 2000 to 2005 as applications extend from aerospace into telecom and datacom.

Leading telecom system suppliers are setting the agenda with performance specifications that can only be met using optical techniques. Some high-end systems already use optical connections such as direct fibre links and optical fibre mesh technology. However, these first generation optical technologies deliver only point to point links, require expensive connectors and are unwieldy.

This is driving major PCB manufacturers and associated companies to invest in new solutions in optical technology to create low cost optical backplanes to meet their customers needs.

Top of the shopping list of the PCB companies is a material and robust manufacturing process for the fabrication of the waveguides themselves. While silica is held up by some to be a solution, principally due to its low loss, many see polymers as being the prime candidate. The requirements on the polymer are however demanding. In essence, the polymer must be low loss, compatible with existing PCB processes and photowritable. Terahertz Photonics have developed a particular polymer, Truemode BackplaneTM, which uniquely meets these requirements.
