    Abstract: An optical module includes a Silicon Photonics chip that transports a light signal and a coupler chip that includes a waveguide and that is attached to the Silicon Photonics chip so that the light signal is transported along a light path between the Silicon Photonics chip and the coupler chip. The light path in the coupler chip includes a guided section that includes the waveguide that guides the light signal and an unguided section that does not guide the light signal in any other waveguide structure. The cross-sectional size of the beam defined by the light signal is largest at the interface between the Silicon Photonics chip and the coupler chip.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes first and second adjacent electrical contacts that each define respective first and second mating ends, the first mating end of a first one of the first and second adjacent electrical contacts defines a first contact surface, the second mating end of a second one of the first and second adjacent electrical contacts defines a second contact surface electrically isolated from the first contact surface; and a dielectric material positioned between the first and second adjacent electrical contacts. When a mating connector applies a force to the first contact surface and the second contact surface, the first and second mating ends and the dielectric material all move in a first direction.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a heat dissipation module with a first end and a second end opposed to the first end and two receptacle connectors located at the second end. The first and second ends define a transceiver-mating direction such that, when a transceiver is inserted into the first end of the heat dissipation module in the transceiver-mating direction, the transceiver mates with one of the two receptacle connectors, and in the heat dissipation module, air flows parallel to the transceiver-mating direction between the first and second ends and flows between the two receptacle connectors.
