A
system (10) for carrying
light signal data between points in an electronic
assembly (12). A
light signal source (20, 32, 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 106) is mounted at a first point.
Light signal source (20, 32, 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 106) emits
light signal along a first path. A light
signal detector (22, 36, 46, 58, 68, 80, 92, 108) is mounted to a second point in electronic
assembly (12). A metalens (44, 62, 96, 112) is set in first path that directs said light
signal toward light
signal detector (22, 36, 46, 58, 68, 80, 92, 108). If interim substrates are disposed between the first point and the second point, features are provided that enable the light signal to pass. In addition, a metalens can redirect light signal away from the first path, correct distortions in light signal and / or focus light signal toward light
signal detector.
