Abstract

An apparatus for supporting two fiber array unit (FAU) connectors in alignment with respective lenses of a photonics integrated circuit (PIC) includes a frame with a pair of arm sections joined with two side sections of a bottom section. The pair of arm sections is configured to parallelly insert in a package structure associated with a PIC chip to make the frame in a floating state. The bottom section provides a first support surface to support two aligners disposed respectively along the two side sections from top. Each aligner provides a semi-confined open space to receive a shelf extended out from a side edge of a PIC chip. The shelf is characterized by an alignment feature associated with a lens of the PIC chip. The semi-confined open space allows a body of a FAU connector to be loaded from top onto the shelf and be aligned with the lens based on the alignment feature.
