24 May 2000Alignment-free optical modules using solder-bump-bonding technique for free-space optical interconnections
An optical packaging scheme based on alignment-free optical modules for free-space interconnection is presented. Solder- bump-bonding technique is introduced to achieve precise self-alignment in free-space optical system. The proposed method is verified by experimental fabrication of optical modules.
