Abstract: A photonic package is provided. The photonic package includes a base substrate defining an aperture, a top die and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die. The top die includes a body with first and second top die sections. The first top die section is connectable with the base substrate. The PIC die includes body with first and second PIC die sections. The PIC die is disposable in the aperture such that the second PIC die section is connectable with the second top die section and the first PIC die section extends beyond the second top die section and is exposed for connection to a waveguide assembly.

Abstract: A clip connects two ferrules together, without a housing, to form a fiber optic connection. The clip has proximal and distal ends which define, and the clip has arms extending along the longitudinal axis to hold a cable-side ferrule in connection with fixed ferrule connected to a photonic module or die. The arms form an opening through which the cable-side ferrule is passed for connecting to the fixed ferrule. The arms have resilient bends forming a spring that can be resiliently extended along the longitudinal axis. The arms have a contact area at their ends which grasp the end of the cable-sided ferrule. The arms resiliently retract to compress the cable-sided ferrule towards the fixed ferrule with a predetermined force. The clip is positioned with respect to the circuit board using a pick and place system. The clip is not taller than either ferrule portion, enabling a limited vertical clearance.

Abstract: An optical device includes: a substrate including plural waveguide cores; and an optical component provided on the substrate, the optical component including plural lenses, each of the plural lenses transmitting light passing through one of the corresponding plural waveguide cores on the substrate. The substrate and the optical component are each provided with a positioning structure. The positioning structure includes plural protrusions and plural recesses provided on the substrate and the optical component. Each of the plural recesses accommodates a corresponding one of the plural protrusions, and an outer surface of each of the plural protrusions contacts a positioning surface of a corresponding one of the plural recesses. The positioning surface is a part of an inner surface of each of the plural recesses having accommodated the corresponding one of the plural protrusions to position the plural lenses relative to the substrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for nanofiller in an optical interface are provided. One system includes a fiber-optic interface for one or more optical fibers that includes a body including one or more grooves defined therein. At least one groove in the one or more grooves is configured to receive a corresponding optical fiber of the one or more optical fibers. The at least one groove of the one or more grooves is further configured to receive an adhesive to attach the body to a portion of the corresponding optical fiber. Further, fiber-optic interface includes a suspended structure associated with the at least one groove configured to couple light between the suspended structure and the corresponding optical fiber. Also, the adhesive comprises nanofiller configured to support an alignment of the suspended structure with the corresponding optical fiber within the at least one groove.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for a method for pluggable Land Grid Array (LGA) socket for high density interconnects. A method includes inserting an electrical-to-optical transceiver into an opening of a channel housing that is positioned above a land grid array connector located on an electrical package. After the electrical-to-optical transceiver is inserted into the channel housing, a tapered opening remains between an upper portion of the channel housing above the electrical-to-optical transceiver, wherein a gap of the tapered opening decreases progressively starting from the opening. The method includes inserting a conductive wedge into the gap of the tapered opening prior to communications through the electrical-to-optical transceiver between a component on the electrical package and a component external to the electrical package.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a land grid array connector positioned above an electrical package. The apparatus also includes a channel housing positioned above the land grid array. The apparatus includes an electrical-to-optical transceiver positioned in an opening of a socket of the channel housing, wherein a tapered opening is formed above the electrical-to-optical transceiver in the channel housing after the electrical-to-optical transceiver is positioned in the opening of the socket of the channel housing. A gap of the tapered opening decreases progressively starting from the opening of the socket. A conductive wedge positioned in the gap of the tapered opening.
