ABSTRACT:
An optical-electrical interface includes an alignment interface and an optoelectronic die. The alignment interface is mounted to a substrate and includes a waveguide port to receive an external waveguide from a first side. The alignment interface includes a conductor disposed on a second side of the alignment interface to couple to a conductor on the substrate. The optoelectronic die is mounted to the second side of the alignment interface. The optoelectronic die includes an electrical port coupled to the conductor disposed on the alignment interface, an optoelectronic device coupled to the electrical port and an optical port aligned to optically couple the optoelectronic device to the external waveguide through the alignment interface.
