Zusammenfassung:	A surgical lead is provided which includes a generally flexible polymeric panel incorporating a set of electrode arrays embedded in one side. The electrode arrays are connected to integrally formed leads which house conductors that connect the electrodes to a set of contacts. The contacts engage an IPG header. The leads incorporate an optical fiber which extends from the IPG header to a set of window portals in the flexible panel. Each of the fibers includes a side firing section adjacent the optical windows for transmission or reception of light. Optimally placed reflectors and heat shields are also provided.
