Electro-optic integrated circuits with connectors and methods for the production thereof

An optical device formed from a substrate, the optical device, comprising:

• an optical fiber, having a core region, mounted on a surface of the substrate;
• an optical element disposed on the substrate and operatively configured for optical coupling with the core region of the optical fiber;
• wherein the optical element is operatively configured to focus at least one of multiple colors of light received from the optical fiber.
