Electronic Subassembly

Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an electronic subassembly. An example includes: an electronic component; a board; wherein the component and the board extend horizontally relative to each other in various layers within the subassembly; contacting means of the electronic component extending vertically in the subassembly; a glass sheet incorporated into the subassembly in a horizontal installation position; a horizontal opening in the glass sheet through which is routed at least part of the contacting means; an optical waveguide structured in the glass sheet; and two optical connection points for the waveguide by which polarized laser light can be coupled into and out of the waveguide. The glass sheet is arranged between a mounting plate and the component.
