    Abstract: The optical-electrical printed circuit board disclosed herein includes a waveguide link assembly and a printed circuit board assembly. The printed circuit board assembly has first and second PCB layers between which optical waveguides of the waveguide link assembly are disposed. The end faces the optical waveguides are accessible through an access aperture in the printed circuit board assembly. An optical interconnector can be used to optically connect the optical waveguides to waveguides of an optical-electrical integrated circuit operably disposed on the printed circuit board assembly to form a photonic device. A waveguide bending structure can be used to bend the optical waveguides to facilitate optical coupling to the optical interconnector or directly to the waveguides of the optical-electrical integrated circuit. Methods of forming an optical-electrical printed circuit board, a photonic assembly and a photonic device are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Optical coupling assemblies for silicon-based optical sources are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical coupling assembly includes an optical coupling carrier frame and a jumper cable assembly. The optical coupling carrier frame includes a frame portion defining an integrated circuit opening operable to receive an integrated circuit assembly, and a connector portion extending from the frame portion. The connector portion includes a channel operable to receive an optical connector of an optical cable assembly. The jumper cable assembly is disposed within the connector portion. The jumper cable assembly includes a plurality of jumper optical fibers, a jumper ferrule coupled to a first end of the plurality of jumper optical fibers, and an optical turn assembly coupled to a second end of the plurality of jumper optical fibers. The optical turn assembly is operable to optically turn optical signals propagating within the optical turn assembly.
