Abstract
An optical system can include an aligned fiber in optical communication with an optical medium. The optical system can also include a micro-mirror separated from an end of the aligned fiber by a first distance. The micro-mirror is positioned and shaped to transform light transmitted between the end of the aligned fiber and a target region of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The micro-mirror is separated from the target region by a second distance the micro-mirror transforms an aspect ratio of a beam profile of the light.
