ABSTRACT:
Optical packages are disclosed. In one aspect, an optical package may include a surface, a microelectronic device coupled with the surface, a first waveguide coupled with the microelectronic device, a second waveguide having a first end that is evanescently coupled with the first waveguide and a second end, a first thickness of a cladding material disposed between the second end and the surface, and a second thickness of a cladding material disposed between the first end and the first waveguide. The first thickness may be greater than the second thickness. Methods of making the optical packages are also disclosed. Apparatus and methods of aligning operations on optical packages are also disclosed.
