Abstract
A silicon photonics package includes an L-shaped block formed from a cuboid having a through-hole through front and rear faces thereof. The L-shaped block includes two horizontal inner surfaces lying in a plane longitudinally bisecting a section of the through-hole, a bisected through-hole formed between the two horizontal inner surfaces, and a vertical inner surface. A lens block with a lens or lens array is bonded on the rear face of the L-shaped block. A vertical metal pad is attached on the front face of the L-shaped block. The vertical metal pad is soldered together with two horizontal metal pads on a photonic integrated circuit block formed with a waveguide or waveguide array such that the center of the optical lens is optically aligned with the waveguide. A method for fabricating the silicon photonics package, and an active alignment method for light coupling are also disclosed.
