Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally directed to a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) having a hermetically-sealed housing with a feedthrough device that electrically isolates RF and power traces. In more detail, a TOSA consistent with the present disclosure includes a substrate with driving circuitry disposed thereon. A first end of the substrate may electrically couple to transmit connecting circuitry and a second end may couple to a hermetically-sealed housing. The hermetically-sealed housing can include one or more laser packages for emitting associated channel wavelengths in addition to monitor photodiodes (PDs), and temperature control devices such as TECs. The hermetic-sealed housing includes a first end with a feedthrough device that provides traces to electrically couple to the circuitry of the substrate. The hermetic-sealed housing further includes an optical coupling port, e.g., a LC connector, for coupling to an external fiber, for example.
