Abstract
An optical module may be formed on a wafer. The wafer may include a substrate and one or more optical components encapsulated, at least partially, by the substrate. Each of the optical components are configured to emit or sense light. The wafer may also include one or more printed circuit board (PCB) bars encapsulated, at least partially, by the substrate allowing electrical conductivity from a first side of the substrate to a second side of the substrate. The wafer may also include at least one redistribution layer to electrically couple at least one of the optical components to at least one of the PCB bars.
