Abstract
Forming an array of metallised light input wells and an array of light-deflecting wells in an optical waveguide involves the steps of forming holes through a capped adhesive layer, attaching the adhesive layer to a substrate, metallising the substrate and adhesive layer and removing the capping to expose adhesive and metallised regions. The substrate is aligned to a well layer with an array of light input through-holes and an array of light-deflecting through-holes. The substrate is attached to the well layer with an array of metallised light input wells and an array of metallised light-deflecting wells. The array of light input wells receive light from a respective aligned array of light-emitting diodes. The array of light-deflecting wells reflects guided light in the region around each light-emitting diode. Extracted light from the waveguide is output by refraction and total internal reflection by a light turning optical component.
