Abstract: Disclosed are optical plugs and optical connectors having one or more integral alignment features used for making optical connections. In one embodiment, an optical connector comprising an optical body and at least one magnetic attachment. The optical body comprises a front side with a first surface, an optical section comprising at least one optical channel, and a datum section disposed on a second surface of the front side and comprising one or more integral alignment features. The optical body also comprises a circuit mounting portion disposed at a rear side of the optical body. The datum section may be arranged on opposite sides of the optical section. Further, the one or more integral alignment feature may be arranged at a top and a bottom of the datum section for alignment in a first direction. The first surface may also be recessed from the second surface.

Abstract: An integrated electrical and optoelectronic package comprises an optical subassembly for the conversion of data between an optical and electrical format, an electronic chip including an integrated electric circuit for processing the data in the electrical format and an interposer. The interposer is configured as a supporting substrate to support the optical subassembly and the electronic chip. An optical connector may be coupled to the package. The optical subassembly comprises an optical adaptor used as an interface between a ferrule of the optical connector and an optoelectronic chip of the optical subassembly. Optical fibers of the optical cable are aligned to optical waveguides of the optoelectronic chip by at least one alignment pin of the optical adaptor.
