ABSTRACT:
An optical connector adapter advantageously interfaces waveguide devices using passive alignment. The connector adapter includes a substrate for transporting optical signals and having opposing ends and a top reference surface and single side reference surface. A carrier bracket is received over the top reference surface at either end and includes substrate alignment fiducials for aligning the top and side reference surfaces. A substrate carrier receives the substrate and carrier bracket as a subassembly and has carrier alignment fiducials for aligning to the side reference surface and top reference surface and interfacing a waveguide device.
