Abstract:
1. A method of assembling an electro-optical device, comprising: positioning a first unit of the electro-optical device with respect to a second unit of the electro-optical device to pre-align an optical coupling element of the first unit and an optical coupling element of the second unit so that an optical waveguide of the second unit is aligned substantially in a plane of an optical port of the first unit; positioning the first unit with respect to the second unit to pre-align an electrical coupling element of the first unit with an electrical coupling element of the second unit; and bonding the electrical coupling element of the first unit directly to the electrical coupling element of the second unit to assemble the electro-optical device to form an electrical communication pathway of the electro-optical device, wherein the optical coupling element of the first unit and the optical coupling element of the second unit form an optical communication pathway of the electro-optical device when the electrical coupling elements are bonded to each other.
