Abstract:
1. A method comprising: forming an optical device on a device substrate; forming a first optical waveguide on the device substrate or on the optical device and arranging the first optical waveguide for transferring an optical signal between the optical device and the first optical waveguide; forming a second, structurally discrete optical waveguide on a structurally discrete waveguide substrate; assembling the waveguide substrate or second optical waveguide with the device substrate, optical device, or first optical waveguide so that the first and second optical waveguides are positioned between the device and waveguide substrates and are relatively positioned for transferring the optical signal therebetween via optical transverse coupling; and arranging the first or second optical waveguide for transferring the optical signal therebetween via substantially adiabatic optical transverse coupling with the first and second waveguides so positioned.
