ABSTRACT:
An optical device having one or more optical components is disclosed. A waveguide extends from an optical component to a testing port configured to receive a light signal from a position over the optical device and to insert the light signal into the waveguide. In some instances, the testing port is configured to receive a light signal from the waveguide and to direct the light signal to a location over the optical device. The optical device can be positioned on a wafer before being separated from the wafer. The waveguide can extend from an optical component over the perimeter of the optical device such that the testing ports are located outside the perimeter of the optical device.
