Abstract
An optical assembly may include a platform disposed within a housing that has a limited space. The platform may be tilted by a first angle to fit a fiber array into the limited space of the housing. The optical assembly may also include a silicon photonics device mounted on the tilted platform. The silicon photonics device may include a grating coupler. The optical assembly may also include the fiber array directly coupled to the grating coupler on the silicon photonics device at a coupling position that deviates from a vertical coupling position by a second angle.
