Es werden zwei Ausführungsformen für die Kombination elekrischer und optischer Leitungen in einem Folienleitungssatz angegeben.There are two embodiments for the combination of electrical and optical Lines specified in a foil line set.
Gemäß Fig. 1 sind optische Wellenleiter 3, z. B. Mehrmodenfasern mit Glaskern oder planare Polymerlichtwellenleiter, mit den elektrischen Leitungen 2 in Polymerfolien 1 einlaminiert. Eine zusätzliche Folienschicht zwischen elektrischen und optischen Wellenleitern ist nicht zwingend erforderlich.According to Fig. 1 are optical waveguides 3, z. B. multi-mode fibers with glass core or planar polymer optical waveguide, laminated with the electrical lines 2 in polymer films 1 . An additional film layer between electrical and optical waveguides is not absolutely necessary.
Gemäß Fig. 2 ist auf der Oberfläche ein optischer Wellenleiter 3 aufgebracht. Der optische Wellenleiter ist z. B. eine Glasfasern oder ein planarer Polymerlichtwellenleiter.

The optical waveguide is e.g. B. a glass fiber or a planar polymer optical fiber. The electrical line 2 is embedded in the film 1 .
Eine weitere Ausführungsform ergibt sich durch die Integration oder Applikation von passiven optischen Verzweigern, so daß optische Wellenleiternetze 4 gemeinsam mit elektrischen Netzen 5 im Folienleitungssatz integriert oder appliziert sind (siehe schematische Darstellung Fig. 3) und damit Folienschaltungen hergestellt werden.

The films 1 , which contain the electrical and optical networks, can be applied directly to one another.
Als weitere Ausführung werden neben passiven optischen Komponenten auch aktive optische Halbleiterkomponenten in den Folienleitungsatz integriert, so daß z. B. die auf dem Folienleitungssatz aufgebrachten optischen Sende-/Empfangselemente 6, 7 eine Folienschaltung bilden. Die optischen Sender und Empfänger werden derart auf dem Folienleitungssatz angeordnet, daß die optischen Sender-/Empfangselemente 6, 7 über die in der Folie 1 integrierten optischen Wellenleiter 8 miteinander innerhalb des Foliensatzes kommunizieren (Fig. 4a).As a further embodiment, in addition to passive optical components, active optical semiconductor components are also integrated in the film line set, so that, for.
