Glass optical interposer assembly

Abstract

A glass optical interposer assembly includes: (i) a glass pane, (ii) one or more optical waveguides embedded within the glass pane, (iii) a plurality of optical transceiver integrated circuits positioned within the glass pane, (iv) circuit switching logic embedded within the glass pane and coupled to the one or more optical waveguides, and (v) a plurality of electrical integrated circuits, which are individually packaged and are coupled to the glass pane, the one or more optical waveguides are configured to provide optical communication pathways between the plurality of electrical integrated circuits through the plurality of optical transceiver integrated circuits as selectively enabled by the circuit switching logic.
