Anisotropic etching of optical components
First Claim
1. An anisotropically etched prism assembly, comprising:
- a device portion including a plurality of optical devices arranged in a first fixed pattern, each pair of said plurality of optical devices spaced a first prescribed distance apart;
a light coupling portion including a plurality of anisotropically etched prisms, each one of the plurality of anisotropically etched prisms arranged in second fixed pattern so as to correspond with a respective one of the plurality of optical devices, wherein each one of the pairs of said plurality of anisotropically etched prisms are spaced a second prescribed distance apart, the second prescribed distance substantially equals the first prescribed distance; and
an alignment portion that is used to align the light coupling portion and the device portion, wherein each one of said plurality of anisotropically etched prisms are aligned with a respective one of said plurality of optical devices.
