Co-packaged photonics fiber connector

A photonics fiber connector, disposed on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and configured to receive an optical fiber assembly and optically couple the optical fiber assembly to the PIC, the photonics fiber connector comprising:

• a housing, mounted on the PIC, wherein the housing comprises a shaft portion and a slot, and the optical fiber assembly is configured to be inserted into the slot or removed from the slot;
• an intermediate member, configured to be inserted into the slot to cover the optical fiber assembly or removed away from the slot;
• and
• a spring sheet, wherein a portion of the spring sheet is pivotally hooked onto the shaft portion such that the spring sheet pivots relative to the housing about the shaft portion,
• wherein in a fixed state, the optical fiber assembly and the intermediate member are inserted into the slot, and at least another portion of the spring sheet abuts the intermediate member to secure the optical fiber assembly in the slot through the intermediate member.
