960 Gb/s optical backplane using embedded polymer waveguides and demonstration in a 12G SAS storage array

An emerging eco-system is described enabling Tb/s bandwidth optical backplanes based on embedded polymer waveguides, passive optical backplane connectors and mid-board optical transceivers capable of bandwidths up to 28 Gb/s per lane.
