Paper Abstract
Polymer waveguides with 45° mirrors are fabricated by vacuum assisted microfluidic (VAM) soft lithographic
technique for card-to-backplane optical interconnect applications. Waveguide array structures with inclined surfaces
in SU-8 photoresist for PDMS mold are fabricated by prism assisted UV exposure. Sample surface reflected UV
light is utilized to eliminate undercut structures and to accomplish the inclined mirror surfaces on both ends of the
straight waveguide segments by one-step UV exposure. Polymer waveguides with 45° embedded mirrors
demonstrated about 0.49 dB/cm propagation loss and 67% mirror coupling efficiency.
