Abstract:
1. An optical assembly, comprising: a plurality of optical components configured to form an optical pathway; and a common substrate, including: wherein at least a portion of the plurality of internal surfaces form right-angle registration corners for each of the plurality of cavities, the right-angle registration corners are configured to abut against respective ones of the plurality of optical components, wherein the plurality of internal surfaces are disposed at predefined locations within the common substrate such that passive optical alignment for the optical pathway between the plurality of optical components is provided upon placement of the plurality of optical components in the plurality of cavities with corners of the plurality of optical components abutting against respective ones of the right-angle registration corners, and wherein the optical pathway is configured to be disposed on an opposite side of the geometric plane from the plurality of cavities.
