System and method for producing optical circuits

A method of fabricating a plurality of composite optical assemblies, each of which includes a first optical element and a second optical element, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first composite substrate including a first length, a first width and a first thickness, said composite substrate being separable into a plurality of first optical elements along the first length, each of which optical element having an optical path through the first thickness;
• and
• forming on an exposed surface of said first composite substrate a second composite substrate including a second length that is equal to said first length, said second composite substrate being separable into a plurality of second optical elements along said second length, said first and second composite substrates providing a composite structure;
• and
• dicing the composite structure along said first and second lengths to form a plurality of composite optical elements.

A method of fabricating a plurality of composite optical assemblies, each of which includes a first optical element and a second optical element, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first composite substrate that may be divided into a plurality of first optical elements along a first length, each first optical element having an optical path through a first thickeness thereof;
• and
• providing a second composite substrate;
• forming on an exposed surface of said first composite substrate a second composite substrate that may be divided into a plurality of second optical elements along a second thereof, said first and second composite substrates providing a composite structure.
