Optical waveguide on the printed circuit board is the most important solution for solving the problem in the future large size and high speed data interconnection, which has a lot of applications in broadband optical communication, big data center and supercomputer. In this paper, based on thermal reflow technique, the reduction of transmission loss of polymer optical waveguide on the printed circuit board is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate that the transmission loss of the waveguide is decreased after the optical waveguide experiences thermal reflow at 160℃. The proposed thermal reflow technique will be expected to adopt to improve the transmission performance of the optical waveguide on the printed circuit board showing important practical applications.
