Abstract:
1. An arrangement for interconnecting optoelectronic devices to waveguides; said arrangement comprising: a plurality of said optoelectronic devices being arranged to form an optoelectronic module, said optoelectronic module having said optoelectronic devices arranged in a two-dimensional array; and a plurality of said waveguides being connected to said optoelectronic devices in a one-dimensional array of said waveguides, said waveguides being in a one-to-one relationship with said optoelectronic devices; wherein said array of waveguides extend from a two-dimensional grid represented by said optoelectronic devices, and said array of waveguides extending along paths routed to a circuit board; and wherein a maximum number of optoelectronic device array rows are defined by the pitch between elements on said optoelectronic devices, waveguide core widths, and minimum separation between waveguide cores.
