Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic assembly for an electronic system comprising: a support electronic chip set configured for at least one of providing multiplexing, demultiplexing, coding, decoding and optoelectronic transducer driving and receive functions; a first substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, said first surface in communication with the support electronic chip set; a second substrate in communication with said second surface of said first substrate, said second substrate configured for mounting at least one of data processing, data switching and data storage chips; an optoelectronic transducer in signal communication with the support electronic chip set; and an optical fiber array aligned at a first end with said optoelectronic transducer and at a second end with an optical signaling medium; wherein an electrical signal from the support electronic chip set is communicated to the optoelectronic transducer via an electrical signaling medium, and wherein the support electronic chip set and the optoelectronic transducer share a common thermal path for cooling.
