An optical interconnect system includes a stacked arrangement of optical lightpipe layers, one layer assigned to each emitter of the system. The various optical lightpipe layers are designed to provide the same level of light to each receptor of the system. The optical lightpipe layers are very thin, allowing the emitter and receptor devices of the system to span the entire optical lightpipe layer assembly. The path loss between every emitter and every receptor over the entire system can be balanced, i.e., made substantially the same, or otherwise set as desired with respect to individual emitters and receptors.
