An electronic circuit board having an optical wiring layer sandwiched between
two electrical wiring layers. The optical wiring layer is structured to be a two-dimensional
optical waveguide. An E/O device and an O/E device are provided in the optical
wiring layer or at an interface between the optical wiring layer and the electrical
wiring layer. A via piercing the optical wiring layer connects the two electrical
wiring layers. It is possible to efficiently input and output light to and from
an optical wiring layer.
