An interposer for optically coupling an optical device (OD) to a fiber, the OD mounted on a substrate, the interposer comprising: (a) a lens component comprising at least one lens for optically coupling with the OD the lens having a first optical axis, a first surface for mating with the substrate, and a second surface for mating with a third surface of a fiber component; (b) the fiber component comprising the third surface and a cavity for receiving at least one fiber and holding the fiber along a second optical axis, the first and second optical axes being perpendicular; and (c) wherein at least one of the lens component or the fiber component comprises a reflective surface for optically coupling the lens to a point along the second optical axis and adjacent the cavity. |

1. An interposer for optically coupling an optical device (OD) to a fiber, said OD mounted on a substrate, said interposer comprising:
a lens component comprising at least one lens for optically coupling with said OD mounted to said substrate, said lens having a first optical axis, said lens component also comprising a planar first surface for mating with said substrate such that at least a portion of said first surface contacts said substrate on which said OD is mounted, and a planar second surface for mating with a planar third surface of a fiber component, said first and second surfaces being parallel, said first optical axis passing through said first and second surfaces; said fiber component comprising said third surface and a cavity for receiving at least one fiber and holding said fiber along a second optical axis, said third surface being parallel with said first and second surfaces, said first and second optical axes being perpendicular, said fiber component also comprising a reflective surface for reflecting light between said lens and a point, which is along said second optical axis and adjacent said cavity, wherein said fiber component is stacked on said lens component, and wherein no portion of said fiber component contacts said substrate. |
