<p>An integrated optical board (IOB) is made by embedding and securing optical fibers (13) in a substrate (10), and then excising the ends of the substrate to serve as optical connectors (15, 16). The remaining part of the substrate may be processed, for example by carving out part (17) or parts (18, 19) of its top layer, to create optical components, such as planar waveguides (23), therein using the alignment markers (12) for accurate positioning of the waveguide with respect to embedded fiber cores.</p> |
