Title: Optoelectronic system with a wedge-shaped adapter

Abstract

Optoelectronic systems with an adapter and methods of manufacturing or assembling the same are provided. An example of an optoelectronic system according to the present disclosure includes a substrate, an interposer, an electronic component disposed on the interposer, and an optical component. The optoelectronic system includes a ferrule and an optical fiber coupled to the ferrule. The optoelectronic system also includes an optical socket configured to receive the ferrule therein. The optoelectronic system further includes an adapter positioned between the interposer and the optical socket. The adapter has a wedge-shaped configuration such that the ferrule is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to the interposer when the ferrule is received in the optical socket and the optical socket is coupled to the adapter.
