Abstract:
Optical waveguide connector elements for optical coupling optical components of an optical assembly, such as the edge coupling of optical printed circuit boards. In one embodiment, a waveguide connector element includes a first end face and a second end face, a pre-existing optical waveguide within or on a surface of the waveguide connector element, and a laser written optical waveguide optically coupled to an end of the pre-existing optical waveguide and extending toward one of the first end face and the second end face.

Claim (Index 30):
An optical assembly comprising:\n an optical printed circuit board comprising an optical layer and a circuit board optical waveguide disposed within the optical layer, the optical printed circuit board comprising an edge, wherein the circuit board optical waveguide terminates at the edge; and a waveguide connector element comprising an optical waveguide, wherein the waveguide connector element is coupled to the edge of the optical printed circuit board, and the optical waveguide is optically coupled to the circuit board optical waveguide.
