ABSTRACT:
A system (10) comprises a carrier (1) which is adapted to carry an optical fiber (9) and an optical chip (3) having a circuit element (4). The carrier and the optical chip are provided with co-operable alignment features (13,14) for aligning the carrier with the optical chip so that the optical fiber and the circuit element are optically coupled.
