Abstract
The present invention features a packaging system for two-dimensional optoelectronic arrays. In one embodiment, the packaging includes a heat spreader, a housing with embedded electrical interconnections, a substrate including electrical contacts, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) including a hybridized array with vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), detectors or both. The waveguide assembly includes a plurality of individual one-dimensional waveguides formed in waveguide sheets, wherein the waveguides match the array footprint on one end and a connector footprint on the other end.
