Abstract
An optical apparatus, comprising a Silicon Photonics (SiP) device, with multiple optical waveguides and an array of collimating lenses, configured to receive light from the multiple optical waveguides in paths not including optical fibers and to collimate the light of the multiple optical waveguides into collimated beams. A receptacle is configured to receive an external optical device in an orientation aligned with the collimated beams from the array of collimating lenses.
