Abstract
A system comprises a first mechanism configured to hold a first block including a plurality of lenses located on or near a first surface of the first block. The plurality of lenses are configured to receive light to generate a plurality of light spots at or near a second surface of the first block opposite the first surface. The system includes a second mechanism configured to hold a second block including a plurality of waveguides, and to move the second block to bring the plurality of waveguides in alignment with the plurality of lenses using the plurality of light spots as alignment marks.
