Abstract:
An optical module includes a waveguide interconnect that transports light signals; a Silicon Photonics chip that modulates the light signals, detects the light signals, or both modulates and detects the light signals; a coupler chip attached to the Silicon Photonics chip and the waveguide interconnect so that the light signals are transported along a light path between the Silicon Photonics chip and the waveguide interconnect; and one of the Silicon Photonics chip and the coupler chip includes first, second, and third alignment protrusions. The other of the coupler chip and the Silicon Photonics chip includes a point contact, a linear contact, and a planar contact. The point contact provides no movement for the first alignment protrusion. The linear contact provides linear movement for the second alignment protrusion. The planar contact provides planar movement for the third alignment protrusion.

Claim (Index 15):
The optical module of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the light path includes a first surface of the coupler chip and a second surface of the coupler chip; and a cross-sectional size of a beam defined by the light signal is different at the first and second surfaces.
