Abstract: A molded base (101) having a surface (102) and an edge surface (103) with an alignment ferrule (107, 108). A plurality of electrical tracings (110) are disposed on the surface (102) of the molded base (101). A plurality of core regions (120) are formed from an organic optical media having a first end (143) and a second end (144) positioned on the surface (102) of the molded base (101). The first end (143) of the core region (122, 121) begin at the edge (103) of the molded base (101) with the second end (144) extending onto the surface (102) of the molded base (101). A photonic device (130, 131, 430) is mounted onto the surface (102) of the molded base (101) with the second end (144) of the core region (122, 121,) operably coupled to the photonic device (130, 131, and 430) and electrically coupled to one of the plurality of electrical tracings (110).
