Abstract: A system and method for alignment. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring a first offset, the first offset being an offset along a first direction between a first alignment mark and a second alignment mark, the first alignment mark being an alignment mark on a first edge of a source die, the second alignment mark being an alignment mark on a target wafer, and the first direction being substantially parallel to the first edge of the source die.

Abstract: An optical assembly (100) for use in a wearable device is provided, the assembly (100) comprising: a prism (104), a photonic integrated chip, PIC (108), a substrate layer (106), and a lid (102); wherein the PIC (108) is mounted onto the substrate layer (106); the prism (104) comprising: (i) a first input/output surface (112) optically coupled to the PIC (108), and (ii) a second input/output surface (114) optically coupled to the lid (102), the second input/output surface (114) orientated perpendicularly to the first input/output surface (112), and wherein the prism (104) provides an optical path and reflects a percentage of light from the first input/output surface (112) to the second input/output surface (114). Methods of manufacturing such an optical assembly are also provided.

Abstract: An embodiment provides an optical interconnect comprising first and second planar metallization layers, a glass substrate disposed between at least portions of the first and second metallization layers, an aperture in the second metallization layer having a first and second ends, and a polymer waveguide having a first end adjacent the first end of the aperture. The first end of the waveguide can have a first edge defining a first acute angle with respect to a top surface of the waveguide. The first end of the optical waveguide can be configured to receive an optical signal traversing through the glass substrate from a source proximate a first position on a top surface of the glass substrate and direct the optical signal with the first edge in a direction parallel to the glass substrate towards a second end of the waveguide.
