Abstract:
1. A micromechanically aligned optical assembly, comprising: a first waveguide on a substrate; a second waveguide on the substrate; a lens for focusing light of the first waveguide into the second waveguide; and a lever holding the lens, the lever having a manipulable portion and at least one point fixed with respect to the substrate, the lever holding the lens at a position closer to the at least one point fixed with respect to the substrate than a position of the manipulable portion of the lever such that movement of the manipulable portion of the lever will result in demagnified movement of the lens, as compared to movement of the manipulable portion of the lever, in at least directions other than an optical axis of light of the first waveguide, the lever moveable so as to position the lens to focus light of the first waveguide into the second waveguide.
