ABSTRACT:
An optical-electronic interface may include a circuit substrate, an electrical component mounted on the substrate, an optical component mounted off the substrate, and a flexible interconnect having a first end electrically connected to the optical component and second end electrically connected proximate to the optical component. The electrical component may include electrical leads and the circuit substrate may include electrically conductive traces connected to the electrical leads. The second end of the flexible interconnect may be electrically connected directly to the electrical leads of the electrical component or directly to the electrically conductive traces at a position located proximate to the electrical component. A flexible optoelectronic interconnect may include a first and second dielectric layer, a signal layer with a signal trace disposed between the dielectric layers, ground plane layers on the first and second dielectric layers and a plurality of vias electrically coupling the first and second ground layers.
