Abstract

Optical apparatus connecting a Silicon Photonics (SiP) device, which comprises multiple optical waveguides to an array of collimating lenses, configured to collimate light of the multiple optical waveguides into collimated beams. The optical apparatus includes a deflection element, distinct from the SiP device, including a light deflection surface which deflects light from the waveguides by an angle greater than 30 degrees, to the array of collimating lenses.
