Abstract
Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques related to active optical plugs used to cover optical connectors of a photonics package to protect the connectors. The active optical plugs may also be used to perform testing of the photonics package, including generating light to be sent to the photonics package and to detect light received from the photonics package as part of the test protocol. This allows testing the optical connection and the photonics package, without exposing the optical connections of the package to damage from dust or physical contact. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
