Abstract:
A reconnectable connection between an optical bench supporting an optical fiber and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), which a foundation and a connector that is configured and structured to be removably attachable for reconnection to the foundation in alignment therewith. The foundation can be aligned to electro-optical elements in the PIC. The foundation may be permanently attached with respect to the opto-electronic device. The optical bench can be removably attached to the foundation. Alignment between the foundation and the connector is achieved by kinematic coupling, quasi-kinematic coupling, or elastic-averaging coupling.

Claim (Index 1):
A connection structure between an optical bench and an opto-electronic device, comprising:\n an optical bench having a first body provided with a first set of alignment features; a foundation provided on the opto-electronic device, having a second body provided with second set of alignment features, wherein the first and second sets of alignment features form a passive alignment coupling, allowing the optical bench to be removably attached to the opto-electronic device.
