An optoelectronic module includes an interposer base having first and second recesses formed on a specified surface thereof; a joint material layer filled in the first and second recesses; a first optoelectronic element placed in the first recess and coupled to the interposer base via the joint material layer, wherein an optical signal is emitted from or passes through a lateral surface of the first optoelectronic element; and a second optoelectronic element placed in the second recess and coupled to the interposer base via the joint material layer, wherein a lateral surface of the second optoelectronic element faces the lateral surface of the first optoelectronic element for coupling to and receiving the optical signal emitted from or passing through the lateral surface of the first optoelectronic element. A fixture is used to place the first and second optoelectronic elements into the first and second recesses while controlling some critical distances.
