    Abstract: Photonic integrated circuits and optical couplers with improved process tolerance, and methods of forming the same, are disclosed herein. In one example, an integrated circuit package includes a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) to send or receive optical signals and an optical coupler to optically couple the PIC to one or more optical fibers. The PIC includes a first interface with at least two recesses and one or more grooves positioned between the recesses, and the optical coupler includes a second interface with at least two protrusions and one or more ridges positioned between the protrusions (or vice versa). The protrusions on the optical coupler are mated with the recesses on the PIC, and the ridges on the optical coupler are mated with the grooves on the PIC.
