Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to an optical device for transferring light between a first and second waveguide. The optical device may generally include the first waveguide, a first support member and a base on which the first waveguide and first support member are disposed. The optical device may further include a second support member wherein the first support member is disposed between the second support member and the base. The second support member comprises at least one groove. The second waveguide may be disposed at least partially in the groove such that the second waveguide is between the first and second support members. The optical device may further include at least one lens disposed between the first waveguide and the second waveguide to transfer an optical signal between the first and second waveguides through the lens.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an optical receiver that demultiplexes a multi-wavelength optical signal into a plurality of optical signals with respective wavelengths. Stated differently, the various wavelengths in the received optical signal are separated into different optical signals with different wavelengths. In one embodiment, the optical receiver includes a plurality of optical filters that is aligned with a mirror to perform the demultiplexing function. The embodiments herein disclose optical receivers where the optical components performing the demultiplexing function using a ball lens aligned with optical filters.
