Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, or method may include an optical connector that is configured to be fixed to a substrate including an optical waveguide. The substrate may also include a reference mark spaced away from the optical waveguide and extending from a substrate edge. The optical connector may define a first alignment aperture and a second alignment aperture through which the optical connector may be aligned with the substrate (e.g., the optical waveguide). The first alignment aperture may be configured to be aligned with the reference mark and the second alignment aperture may be configured to be aligned with the substrate edge.
