Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic assembly, comprising: an optoelectronic device; a planar optical interposer coupled to the optoelectronic device on a first side of the optical interposer and having an optical transmission element on a second side of the optical interposer opposite to the first side; a deflecting element; at least one optical waveguide on the first side of the optical interposer, in-plane with the optical interposer; and a set of optical interposers, wherein each optical interposer of the set is an essentially planar component, is essentially parallel to other optical interposers of the set, is coupled on a first side to both a respective optoelectronic device and at least one respective optical waveguide having a respective deflecting element and being in-plane with each optical interposer and coupled to the respective optoelectronic device at an end and to the respective deflecting element at another end; and includes a respective optical transmission element on a second side opposite to the first side, the respective deflecting element adapted to transmit an optical signal from the respective waveguide to the respective optical transmission element and conversely, from the respective optical transmission element to the respective waveguide; wherein the least one optical waveguide is coupled at one end to the optoelectronic device and at another end to the deflecting element, wherein the deflecting element is configured to enable optical transmission between the least one optical waveguide and the optical transmission element through the optical interposer, and wherein the optical interposer contains a material between the deflecting element and the optical transmission element, the material allowing for optical transmission.
