Abstract
An optoelectronic packaging assembly having an optical interposer and a method of same. The assembly includes a photonic and/or optoelectronic device; a planar optical interposer coupled to the photonic and/or optoelectronic device on a first side of the optical interposer and including an optical transmission element on a second side opposite to the first side; a deflecting element; and at least one optical waveguide on the first side, in-plane with the optical interposer. The waveguide is coupled at one end to the photonic and/or optoelectronic device and at another end to the deflecting element. The deflecting element is configured to enable optical transmission between the waveguide and the optical transmission element through the optical interposer. The optical interposer includes a material allowing for optical transmission between the deflecting element and the optical transmission element.
