Abstract
A passive alignment scheme for aligning surface emitting/detecting optical electronic devices to optical fibers through the use of a mini-MT ferrule used in a RJ connector by way of silicon waterboard technology. The mini-MT ferrule has guide pins which are use to align the optical fiber ultimately to the optoelectronic device.
