Flexible electrical interconnect for optical fibre transceivers

摘要

The present invention provides an optoelectronic module comprising an optical subassembly (1) and an electrical subassembly (3) each having a plurality of electrical connection points and ground plane connection points. The optical and electrical subassemblies are connected by a flexible circuit (2) comprising transmission lines (11,12) disposed on a substrate having a groundplane (6). The connection is such that electrical connection of the groundplanes is established. The optical and electrical subassemblies are preferably multi-layered structures.
