In this study, we developed a high-refractive-index (n = 1.65) photocurable polymer for printed wiring board (PWB) applications using a dip-in femtosecond-laser 3D direct-writing technique. Aiming at integration into next-generation co-packaged optics (CPO) that link multi-core fibers to silicon photonic chips, we evaluated the optical propagation characteristics of polymer waveguides: single-mode transmission was confirmed for a 2.8 µm-diameter circular waveguide embedded in an SU-8 cladding. We also fabricated bridge-type PWBs 300–500 µm long and successfully produced circular waveguides with a diameter of 2.8 µm extending over 100 µm.
