Abstract

Disclosed are devices and techniques for facilitating transmission of light signals between optical waveguides formed on integrated circuit (IC) devices. In an implementation, one or more first waveguides may be formed in a structure such that at least a portion of the one or more first waveguides are exposed for optical connectivity. The structure may comprise first features to enable the structure to be interlocked with an IC device comprising second features complementary with the first features, so as to align at least a portion of the one or more first waveguides exposed to optically couple with one or more second waveguides formed in the first integrated circuit device.
