Simulations using the measured refractive index profile agree well with the experiments. Introduction cm observed. Larger values of 150 GHz (BLP: In recent years, short-reach optical 75 GHz×m) for a 51 cm long waveguide4 and interconnects have attracted significant research 1.03 GHz (BLP: 90 GHz×m) for a 90 m long interests for use in board-level waveguide5 have been reported for polymeric datacommunication links owing to their waveguides under a SMF launch. However, advantages over conventional electrical these studies mostly focus on restricted interconnects such as high bandwidth, high launches. We have recently presented immunity to electromagnetic interference, bandwidth studies on a 1 m long polymer reduced power consumption and high data multimode spiral waveguide with a graded-index
