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 16):
A board-mounted optical engine comprising:\n a flex circuit; an active optical component electrically coupled to the flex circuit; a first waveguide that includes a first waveguide end, a second waveguide end, and a waveguide core; a first lens that is positioned relative to a first optical fiber such that a core of the first optical fiber is aligned with the first lens; a first lens holder that includes a lens retention portion that retains the first lens and a waveguide retention portion on which the first waveguide end of the first waveguide is positioned such that the first waveguide end is adjacent to the lens retention portion and the waveguide core is aligned with the first lens; a second lens that is aligned relative to the first active optical component; a second lens holder that includes a lens retention portion that retains the second lens and a waveguide retention portion on which the second waveguide end of the first waveguide is positioned such that the second waveguide end is adjacent to the lens retention portion of the second lens holder and the waveguide core is aligned with the second lens; and a lens retention super-structure configured to house the first lens holder and the second lens holder such that the second lens holder is aligned with the first active optical component.
