Apparatus comprising at least one optical device optically coupled to at least one waveguide on an optical chip

摘要

Apparatus comprising at least one optical device (106) optically coupled to at least one waveguide (111) on an optical chip (100), characterised in that: (i) the optical device (106) is optically aligned with the waveguide (111) by aligning means (114, 116); (ii) the aligning means (114, 116) comprises at least one male member (114) and at least one female (116) member which locate together; (iii) one of the male member (114) and the female member (116) is positioned on the optical chip (100); (iv) the other one of the male member (114) and the female member (116) is positioned on a capping chip (102); and (v) the apparatus includes a mirror (108) for reflecting light from the optical device (106) to the waveguide (111).
