Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and associated method and computer-readable medium for connecting a fiber array connector (FAC) with a photonic subassembly comprising a plurality of waveguides with a predetermined disposition relative to a top surface of a substrate. A plurality of optical fibers extend to a first surface of the FAC. The method comprises moving, using a positioning device, the FAC from a first position in which the first surface is seated against a second surface of the photonic subassembly to a second position such that the first surface has a predetermined distance from the second surface. The method further comprises performing, using the positioning device, an active alignment of the plurality of optical fibers with the plurality of waveguides, and applying, using an application device, an adhesive to form a physical interface between at least two opposing surfaces of the photonic subassembly and the FAC.
