Abstract:
An optical coupling system includes a first waveguide that includes a first waveguide end, a second waveguide end. The optical coupling system includes a first lens that is aligned with a first optical fiber. The optical coupling system includes a first lens holder that retains the first lens. The lens holder includes a waveguide retention portion on which the first waveguide end is positioned such that the first waveguide end is aligned with the first lens. The optical coupling system includes a second lens that is aligned with a first optical component. The optical coupling system includes a second lens holder that retains the second lens. The second lens holder includes a waveguide retention portion on which the second waveguide end is positioned such that the second waveguide end is aligned with the second lens.

Claim (Index 18):
The board-mounted optical engine of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n a second waveguide that includes a first waveguide end, a second waveguide end, and a waveguide core; a third lens retained by the lens retention portion of the first lens holder relative to a second optical fiber such that a core of the second optical fiber is aligned with the third lens; and a fourth lens retained by the lens retention portion of the second lens holder such that the fourth lens is aligned with a second optical component; wherein:\n the first waveguide end of the second waveguide is positioned on the waveguide retention portion of the first lens holder such that the first waveguide end of the second waveguide is adjacent to the lens retention portion of the first lens holder and the waveguide core of the second waveguide is aligned with the third lens; \n the second waveguide end of the second waveguide is positioned on the waveguide retention portion of the second lens holder such that the second waveguide end of the second waveguide is adjacent to the lens retention portion of the second lens holder and the waveguide core of the second waveguide is aligned with the fourth lens; \n the second lens and the fourth lens are positioned on a surface of the second lens holder; \n the first optical fiber is positioned a particular distance from the second optical fiber in a first direction; and \n the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the second lens holder.
