<p>An optical interface arrangement comprises: a tile (15) carrying an optical component (9) which is mounted substantially at right angles to a closely adjacent circuit board (substrate) (16) which carries an electrical circuit (17). The circuit board (16) has an electrically conductive track (18) extending to an edge of the board (16) adjacent to an edge (20) of said tile (15). The edge surface of the tile (15) has a localised recess (12) carrying an electrically conductive material (10, 11) which extends across the thickness of the tile and along a major surface of the tile (15) to connect with the optical component (9). A short bondwire (21) is provided which links the electrically conductive material (11) in said recess (12) to the adjacent electrically conductive track (18) on the circuit board (16).</p> |
