    Abstract: An integrated photonic system including multiple photonic dies that are laterally aligned using contact between pairs of vertical surfaces. The vertical surfaces can be manufactured by defining, via photolithography processes for example, the shape of the vertical surfaces. Thereafter, the vertical surfaces can be aligned and engaged, thereby optically and mechanically intercoupling the multiple photonic dies.
