Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An optical interconnect can be located between a first optical guide with a first optical guide end and a second optical guide with a second optical guide end. The first optical guide and the second optical guide can each have an operational wavelength, which can be substantially the same such that light of such a wavelength can propagate through the optical interconnect. The optical interconnect can include a pressure-sensitive material with a first region with a first refractive index at the operating wavelength. The pressure-sensitive material can include a second region with a second refractive index at the operating wavelength located between the first optical guide end and the second optical guide end. The second region can be induced by a mechanical pressure applied between the first guide end and the second guide end.
