Abstract

We will present our recent work on the reliability of specialty optical fibers designed for use in silicon photonics, subjected to reflow soldering process conditions. Coating thermal stability, fiber mechanical properties, and induced optical loss after reflow soldering will be discussed. Performances of post-reflow fibers under temperature cycling and damp heat aging environmental tests will also be discussed.
