ABSTRACT:
The optical module optically aligns two adjacently located optical components. The optical module comprises a substrate and at least one pre-alignment groove formed therein for coarsely aligning the two optical components. The optical components are seated in the at least one groove with a gap between them. The optical module further comprises a waveguide core located in the gap between the two optical components. The waveguide core extends from a light-guiding portion of one optical component to a light-guiding portion of the other optical component and guides light from one optical component to the other.
