Abstract:
A method of producing optical transmitter and receiver modules, comprising the steps of:providing a substrate,applying at least one optical waveguide to or in a surface of the substrate to pass from a first module region of the substrate to a neighbouring second module region of the substrate across a division line,mounting an optical transmitter device in the first module region and an optical receiver device in the second module region at ends of the at least one optical waveguide, so that light generated by the optical transmitter device when energized is transmitted in the at least one optical waveguide to propagate in the at least one optical waveguide up to the optical receiver device receiving the light when energized,supplying power to the optical transmitter device and to the optical receiver device,detecting signals issued by the receiver device in response to received light, andcutting the substrate along the division line to form tested optical transmitter and receiver modules.
