Abstract:
An optoelectronic printed circuit board formed as a laminated multilayer stack, comprising:at least one outer layer to be fitted with a plurality of components; at least one electrical printed circuit trace provided on an exterior of the at least one outer layer; a layer system including a plurality of additional, optically transparent layers and arranged with respect to the at least one outer layer; and at least one optical signal-transmission path patterned in an arbitrary layout and cross-section in the layer system as an integrated multimode strip waveguide, wherein the layer system is located in an interior of the multilayer stack; wherein: the at least one outer layer includes a first outer layer and a second outer layer, the at least one electrical printed circuit trace includes at least a first electrical printed circuit trace and a second electrical printed circuit trace, the first outer layer flanks a first side of the layer system and is provided with at least the first electrical printed circuit trace, and the second outer layer flanks a second side of the layer system and is provided with at least the second electrical printed circuit trace.
