Opto electrical assembly channel matrix multiplexing having first plane optical guides multiplexing several channels/one channel and second plane also multiplexing several/one channel and coupling first plane channel

摘要

The optical channel matrix multiplexing mechanism has a number of optical guides (16) each multiplexing a number of channels to one channel. There is a complementary plane optical waveguide (24) multiplexing a second number of channels to a coupling channel. The coupling channel couples to the first set of channels.
