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.
