ABSTRACT:
An optical via within a printed circuit board (PCB) to route optical signals from one level to another through the PCB. The optical signals entering the optical via from an optoelectronic device, or other source, may be routed by an optical waveguide to enter other optical vias to a destination for different purposes. The source of optical signals may be mounted to the PCB or it may be at a distance, with the optical signals being coupled to or away from the optical via by means of optical waveguides.
