Claim 17:
18. An apparatus comprising:
a first integrated circuit comprising:
a plurality of sets of optical waveguides, each set of optical waveguides including a plurality of optical waveguide segments, and
a plurality of optical emitter elements arranged over a first surface of the first integrated circuit, each optical emitter element coupled to a distal end of one of the optical waveguide segments, with a plurality of the optical emitter elements spaced at a first pitch; and

a second integrated circuit comprising:
a plurality of optical phase shifters that each provide a phase-shifted optical wave that is coupled to the first integrated circuit from a first edge surface of the second integrated circuit, with a plurality of the optical phase shifters spaced at a second pitch substantially equal to the first pitch;

wherein
the first edge surface of the second integrated circuit is in proximity to a row of proximal ends of the optical waveguide segments of a first set of the plurality of sets of optical waveguides.
