Abstract
At least one optical waveguide is supported on a substrate and has a plurality of key apertures formed in a complaint element thereof. An optoelectronic device such as a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has a plurality of projections that register with corresponding key apertures to position the optoelectronic device in a predetermined alignment relative to the optical waveguide.
