Abstract

An embodiment of the invention relates to an optical assembly comprising an optical emitter configured to generate a beam of optical radiation, a cap unit holding the optical emitter, a photonic chip comprising a coupler, and an intermediate chip arranged between the cap unit and the photonic chip, wherein the cap unit comprises a recess having a bottom section and a sidewall, wherein the optical emitter is mounted on the bottom section of the recess, wherein a section of the sidewall forms a mirror section angled with respect to the bottom section and configured to reflect said beam of optical radiation towards the coupler, and wherein the intermediate chip comprises a lens formed at a lens section of the intermediate chip's surface that faces the cap unit, said lens being configured to focus the reflected optical beam towards the coupler.
