An optical module PCB is a specialized circuit board designed to enable the conversion and transmission of optical and electrical signals. Designing and producing these complex PCBs presents formidable challenges, requiring a convergence of disciplines—from high-frequency signal integrity and advanced thermal. Optical PCBs [^1] integrate light-based data transmission with electrical circuits using polymer waveguides and photonic chips, enabling 400Gbps+ speeds for 5G networks and AI servers while reducing power consumption by 40% compared to conventional boards. As data transmission speeds and communication needs continue to improve, the design requirements for optical modules are also gradually. Whether you are creating a 100-Gbps or 400-Gbps, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module, SFP+ transceiver, XFP module, CFP, X2/XENPAK module.
