Optical transmission is becoming common technology for high-data transmission not only for telecom/datacom but for consumer electronics. There are a lot of types of optical transmission such as embedded optics (On Board Optics, CPO (Co-packaged Optics)), Pluggable optics and Active optical cables. Most of them are based on glass or silicon materials. On the other hand, Nitto have been developing new types of products for optical transmission, Plastic Optical Fiber and Optical waveguide with Flexible Printed Circuit (OFPC) based on polymer technology. In this presentation, I would like to introduce them and explain how our technologies will contribute to implementing optical communication in wider market.
