Abstract
Disclosed are interposer including an interposer coupling assemblies for communicating optical signals to an integrated circuit and other interposer structures having an optical interface for optical connections. In one embodiment, the interposer coupling assembly includes a connector attachment saddle having an optical alignment structure, an optical pathway that includes a GRIN lens, and an optical signal turning element adjacent to the GRIN lens. The interposer coupling assembly may be optically attached to an integrated circuit or a base that is attached to an integrated circuit to form an interposer structure that allows high-speed data transfer. Also disclosed are complimentary optical assemblies that may be optically connected to the interposer coupling assembly.
