ABSTRACT:
An interface between a laminated polymer optical waveguide (15) and an electronic device (39). The interface does not degrade the desirable properties of the optical waveguide (15), is simple, is low cost, and is compatible with integrated circuit technology as well as optical and electrical connectors (41,42,43,46). The interface includes at least one vertical cavity surface emitting laser or photosensitive diode (11,37) mounted above the surface of the optical waveguide (15). A mirror (21) positioned at an angle with respect to the optical waveguide (15) serves to reflect light between either the vertical cavity surface emitting laser or photosensitive diode (11,37) and the optical waveguide (15). At least one microstrip line (16) couples electrical signals between the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (11,37) and the electronic device (39).
