Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
packaging a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) in a package comprising a substrate and a lid, the substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface of the substrate, the PIC having a first surface;
mounting a fiber holder on the lid of the package such that the lid is between the PIC and the fiber holder, wherein the first surface of the substrate is proximate the first surface of the PIC and the second surface of the substrate is distal the first surface of the PIC;
coupling an optical fiber to the PIC, the lid contacting the first surface of the substrate and at least partially covering the PIC; and
mechanically coupling the optical fiber to the fiber holder.
