Abstract
A new method, named as doctor-blading, is presented to fabricate light waveguides in electro-optical printed circuit board (EOPCB). This new technology is proven to be suitable for the fabrication of the large size waveguides. The performance parameters of the light waveguides fabricated by the proposed method as well as the influence of the parameters on the performance of the waveguides are analyzed and simulated. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the method to fabricate the polymer waveguides.
