Optical InterLinks (OIL) Polymer Products successfully completed outgassing tests. The testing was conducted by NuSil Technology LLC of Carpinterial, California. Outgas tests meeting ASTM E-595 were completed on typical material structure of OIL polymer film based products. Results indicate that Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM) was less than the acceptable 0.10% maximum and Total Mass Loss (TML) is significantly below the accepted maximum of 1.00% after Water Vapor Recovered (WVR) is taken into account. Five grams of material were used in conducting the outgas testing. This mass was divided equally between one control sample and three testing samples. (Note: The testing mass is equivalent to more than 300 typical stand alone polymer devices.)

LEOS 2008 CONFERENCE - Bruce L. Booth PhD, President and CTO of Optical InterLinks, will be presenting an invited paper at LEOS 2008 (November 9th – 13th ) in Newport Beach, CA. Bruce will be presenting a paper during the afternoon (≈2:15 PM) of 12 November titled:

Technology and Product Review for Practical Polymer Waveguide Optical Interconnections

Board and chip level planar polymer waveguide optical interconnections are being developed in response to electronic performance and cost issues resulting from 20 GHz+ data rates, EMI, and related design constraints. The presentation reviews practical planar polymer waveguide optical interconnection technologies and solution status.

Bruce will be available during the conference to answer your question regarding implemention of polymer planar waveguides into your optical application. Please feel free to schedule a meeting with Bruce by calling (610) 444-9469 x12.

  Past Events

Optical Interlinks will not be having a booth at this year's OFC in San Diego on February 24th-28th , but Dr Bruce Booth will be attending this conference. During this time Dr. Booth will be available for one-on-one discussions on how our technology and product may benefit your designs. Please feel free to contact Dr. Booth on his cell at 610-745-0828 to arrange a discussion time.

Dr. Bruce Booth of Optical InterLinks and Jack Fisher, who headed up the iNEMI program exploring optical backplanes, recently co-authored a paper titled " Practical Optoelectronic Substrate Connectivity" which will be published within "Printed Circuit Design and Manufacture" magazine. The first installment of this two part article will be in the February 2008 edition with the final part published in the March 2008 edition. This article explores technology option and cost/performance comparisons for optical backplane connections. A copy of the pre-edited version can be found in our Papers and Publications section. The link below is for February's online installment on Printed Circuits & Fab. web site.

Optical InterLinks was formed from the technology of Optical CrossLinks after an asset buyout by Martra LLC in December of 2006. This purchase and subsequent reorganization took most of 2007 to accomplish. As a result, our Web Site is current undergoing extensive upgrades in both content and form. Listings of Past Events will begin after this year?s OFC.
