Abstract
The fiber array units (FAUs) described herein include an FAU substrate with a coupling surface, an array of V-grooves formed in a FAU substrate, and a plurality of optical channels individually disposed in a respective V-groove of the array of V-grooves. The array of V-grooves and the optical channels are configured to position the optical channels along a curve defined in the coupling surface such that the optical channels are aligned with waveguides in a warped photonic device.
