Abstract

An optical coupling system includes a first waveguide that includes a first waveguide end, a second waveguide end. The optical coupling system includes a first lens that is aligned with a first optical fiber. The optical coupling system includes a first lens holder that retains the first lens. The lens holder includes a waveguide retention portion on which the first waveguide end is positioned such that the first waveguide end is aligned with the first lens. The optical coupling system includes a second lens that is aligned with a first optical component. The optical coupling system includes a second lens holder that retains the second lens. The second lens holder includes a waveguide retention portion on which the second waveguide end is positioned such that the second waveguide end is aligned with the second lens.
