Abstract:
A fiber alignment or “fiberposer” device enables the passive alignment of one or more optical fibers to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) device using mating hard-stop features etched into the two devices. Accordingly, fiber grooves can be provide separate from the electrical and optical elements, and attached to the PIC with sub-micron accuracy. Fiberposers may also include a hermetic seal for a laser or other device on the PIC. All of these features significantly reduce the typical cost of an actively aligned optical device sealed in an hermetic package.

Claim (Index 24):
The assembly according to  claim 21 , wherein the first alignment features comprise openings in the PIC down to corresponding hard stops; and wherein the second alignment features comprise pillars extending from the optical fiber alignment device into the openings abutting the corresponding hard stops.
