Abstract

A disk device according to one embodiment includes a first conversion device, a second conversion device, an optical waveguide, a first component, and a second component. The first conversion device emits light corresponding to an electric signal. The second conversion device generates an electric signal corresponding to incident light. The optical waveguide includes a first end joined to the first conversion device and a second end joined to the second conversion device, and transmits light emitted from the first conversion device to the second conversion device. The first component is electrically connected to the first conversion device. The second component is electrically connected to the second conversion device, and communicates with the first component through the first conversion device, the optical waveguide, and the second conversion device.
