Abstract
An optical link includes a polymer waveguide having a top cladding layer, a core polymer layer, and a bottom cladding layer, supported by a substrate, with mirrors and optical vias. The core polymer layer includes a polymer material having a nanoparticle filler with a particle size of less than one tenth the shortest wavelength of interest for the optical link. The optical links comprise individual, multiple or massively parallel channels in single or multilayer networks.
