Abstract:
1. An optical interconnect device comprising: a first substrate having an electrical wiring circuit, an electrical-optical converter which is connected to the electrical wiring circuit and converts an electrical signal to an optical signal, and a light emitting device which is connected to the electrical-optical converter and emits a light; a second substrate having an electrical wiring circuit, an optical-electrical converter which is connected to the electrical wiring circuit of the second substrate and converts the optical signal to the electrical signal, and a light receiving device which is connected to the electrical-optical converter and receives the light from the light emitted device; an optical waveguide optically connecting the light emitting device and the light receiving device; an electrical wiring electrically connecting the electrical wiring circuit of the first substrate and the electrical wiring circuit of the second substrate; and a switching device which determines a fast signal of data to be transmitted via the optical waveguide and a slow signal of data to be transmitted via the electrical wiring.
