Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus for connecting one or more optical fibers to an optoelectronic system. This apparatus includes a packaged optoelectronic module (POeM) comprising an optical connector, a silicon photonic (SiP) chip, an integrated circuit (IC) chip, at least one laser chip and a package substrate. The apparatus also includes an assembly adapter enclosing the POeM, wherein the assembly adapter includes a mechanical transfer (MT) ferrule cavity, which includes one or more coarse-alignment structures to guide an MT ferrule enclosing at least one optical fiber during assembly of the apparatus. The assembly adapter is comprised of a solder-reflow-compatible material to facilitate bonding the assembly adapter to a circuit board.
