ABSTRACT:
An opto-electronic interconnect is disclosed that provides for optical communication between chip devices. Optical signals, transmitted from one of the edges of a first chip device, are directed by a lens focusing apparatus to the edge of a second chip device, whereupon the signal is detected. The optical ports for transmission or reception of the optical signals are grouped into an optical segment, which may have either a semi-circular or planar geometry.
