Abstract

A novel polymer-based multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite with high shielding effectiveness (SE) and effective electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) performance is proposed for use in packaging a high-speed 2.5 Gbps plastic transceiver module. Both polymer-based dispersed and non-dispersed MWCNT composites are fabricated and then the SE performances are compared. The results showed that the ionic liquid (IL)-dispersed MWCNT composites with 30% weight percentage MWCNTs exhibited high SE of 40–46 dB. By comparison, the MWCNT composites fabricated by a nondispersive process required a higher weight percentage (50%) of MWCNTs. Furthermore, the package housing developed, fabricated by IL-dispersed MWCNT composites, clearly improved EMS performance, mask margin, and power penalty for a 2.5 Gbps lightwave transmission system. This significantly improved result has marked the achievement of using the dispersive MWCNT composites for the high SE and suitability for packaging low-cost and high-performance optical transceiver modules used in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) lightwave transmission systems.
