title: Experimental demonstration of 10 Gbit/s transmission with an optical backplane system using optical slots.
abstract: A practical optical backplane system was prepared with transmitter-receiver processing boards and an optical backplane made from polymeric-waveguide-embedded optical printed-circuit boards. Optical slots were used as connection components between the transmitter-receiver processing boards and the backplane board to permit easy and repeatable insertion and extraction of the boards with micrometer precision. We report 10 Gbit/s data transmission between an optical backplane and the transmitter-receiver processing boards.
