FIGURE 1. Integrated photonics enables higher bandwidth for data transmission on a PCB. Examples here include data transmission through printed electrical connections (a); short electrical connections between chip and EO transceiver connected with flyover cable (b); multichip-module (MCM) and transceiver on interposer, connected with flyover cable (c); optical signal transmission in the EOCB by optical waveguides (d); and transceiver integrated in the chip sends data into the EOCB-integrated optical waveguides (e).
