Abstract:
A multilayer PCB ( 160 ) for optical transmission is presented. The multilayer PCB includes a first layer ( 1510 ), a second layer ( 1520 ), and a transparent layer ( 212 ) between them. The transparent layer may have a first compartment ( 1851 ), which may have a first mirror ( 214 ) operable to reflect a beam of light ( 260 B) into the first compartment of the transparent layer in a plurality of directions ( 260 C) perpendicular to the direction of the beam of light, thereby transmitting throughout the first compartment an optical signal carried by the beam of light in said plurality of directions such that one or more other mirrors disposed in the first compartment of the transparent layer are able to receive a beam of reflected light ( 260 C) carrying the optical signal. The multilayer PCB may further include a second mirror ( 1508 ) in the first compartment for reflecting a wave of reflected light ( 260 C) carrying the optical signal toward an optical receiver ( 1705 ).

Claim (Index 9):
A system for communicating optical signals, comprising:\n a first embedded optical transceiver system (E-OTRX) comprising an optical transceiver configured to transmit a beam of light in a first direction; a second E-OTRX having an optical transceiver configured to receive light; a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) attached to the first E-OTRX and the second E-OTRX, the multilayer PCB comprising a first opening facing the first E-OTRX and a second opening facing the second E-OTRX, and the multilayer PCB further comprising:\n a first layer; \n a second layer; \n a transparent layer between the first layer and the second layer, the transparent layer comprising a first compartment; \n a first mirror disposed in the first compartment of the transparent layer and in the first opening of the multilayer PCB; and \n a second mirror disposed in the first compartment of the transparent layer and in the second opening of the multilayer PCB, wherein \n the first mirror is operable to reflect the beam of light into the transparent layer in a plurality of directions perpendicular to the first direction, thereby transmitting throughout the first compartment of the transparent layer an optical signal carried by the reflected beam of light such that the second mirror is able to reflect the reflected beam of light toward the second E-OTRX, the first E-OTRX further comprising a plurality of actuators that are configured to move the optical transceiver of the first E-OTRX relative to the first mirror.
