Abstract
Opto-electrical systems having electrical and optical interconnections formed in thin layers with thin-film active devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, optical connections are made between the edge of one substrate and the surface of another substrate with the use of photorefractive materials. In another embodiment, the optical connection is made by separating a optical film from the first substrate and coupling the first substrate and the optical film to separate receptacles located on the second substrate. Film optical link modules employing aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
