Abstract:
An optical printed circuit board (OPCB) includes a rigid substrate, a first cladding layer, a core layer, and a second cladding layer. The first cladding layer is formed on the substrate, the core layer is formed on the first cladding layer, and the second cladding layer is formed on the core layer. The core layer defines optical waveguide patterns. The refractive rate of the core layer is greater than the refractive rate of the first cladding layer and the refractive rate of the second cladding layer.
