Abstract
Optical interconnection assemblies, glass interconnection substrates, and methods for making optical connections are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical interconnection assembly includes a base substrate, a substrate optical waveguide coupled to the base substrate, the substrate optical waveguide having an end surface, an optical chip comprising an optical coupling surface, and a glass interconnection substrate. The glass interconnection substrate includes a first end optically coupled to the end surface of the substrate optical waveguide, a second end optically coupled to the optical coupling surface of the optical chip, and a curved portion disposed between the first end and the second end. The glass interconnection substrate further includes an optical waveguide at least partially positioned within the curved portion.
