Abstract
An optical subsystem arrangement enables the electrical conductive or non-conductive bonding of an optical device to ferrules containing an optical fiber or to the optical fiber itself. In one embodiment, one or more contacts deposited on an end-face of the ferrule is bonded to one or more contacts on the optical component. Another embodiment is an opto/electrical connector for interconnecting an optical fiber through an optoelectronic component to one or more electrical facilities. Another arrangement enables the interconnecting of a plurality of optical devices to a plurality of optical fibers.
