Abstract
An optical interconnection network includes an optical bus formed by a D-fibre embedded in a thermoplastic substrate with the flat of the D-fibre flush with the top surface of the substrate. A module similarly constructed is dimensioned to be a push fit in a wall structure formed on the substrate with the fibres and in a position to evanescently couple optical signals from one fibre to the other.
