  • Patent number: 12625325
    Abstract: An optical system is provided. The optical system includes an optical engine having a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and an optical lens array, the optical lens array has a lens that is optically aligned with a waveguide in the PIC. The optical system also includes an optical connector optically aligned with the optical lens array to transfer optical signals between the optical connector and the waveguide in the PIC. The optical connector includes a ferrule and an optical fiber mated with the ferrule. The ferrule has a lens aligned with the lens of the optical lens array.

  • Patent number: 11831093
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a substrate, a frame, and a socket. The frame defines a slot. The frame is coupled to the substrate such that the slot is aligned with an attachment location on the substrate. The socket receives a first device. The socket aligns with the attachment location on the substrate when the socket is inserted in the slot.
