Provided is a lens holder, a lens optical component, or a package equipped with the lens optical component, in which poor welding between a lens housing and the lens holder may not occur. A lens holder includes a pair of leg members inclined and extending to a lens housing from a support member that supports the lens holder at a predetermined position. A distance between pair of leg members is set such that the distance between lower end portions is equal to or larger than a width of the lens housing to be supported, and the distance between upper end portions is equal to or smaller than the width of the lens housing to be supported, and that the distance becomes gradually smaller from the lower end portions to the upper end portions of the legs. A lens optical component includes a lens housing holding a lens, and the lens holder. The pair of leg members at the upper end portions are in contact with the lens housing, and welded at portions in contact with the lens housing. A package is equipped with the lens optical component and two or more optical components. The lens optical component is inserted in an optical path of the two or more optical components, and the height of the lens holder is set to be equal to a height of the input-output portion of an optical device.

An optical assembly (1) is described, which comprises an optical package (3) having a wall (4a) with an aperture (5) and including a laser device (2) capable of emitting a laser beam (LB) through the aperture (5); and a collimator (7) including a sleeve (11) defining a first (8a) and a second end (8b), the collimator (7) including a terminating portion (10) of an optical fibre (F). In addition, the assembly (1) comprises a joint element (20) having a first (22a) and a second surface (22b), the first surface (22a) contacting the wall (4a) around the aperture (5) in a first contact area, and the second surface (22b) including a convex surface (23) contacting a portion of the surface of said sleeve (11) in correspondence of its first end (8a) in a second contact area, said convex surface (23) being at least partially inserted in said sleeve (11), so that said collimator (7) is aligned with respect to the laser beam (LB).
摘要:
Wavelength lockers, which monitor the wavelength drift of a laser's beam due to aging, are tunable to adjust for manufacturing misalignments between its various optical components. Tuning is accomplished by adjusting the position of a collimating lens using a flexure. Adjusting the lens position changes the angle of incidence of a monitored beam relative to a fixed filter and detector and avoids the challenging manufacturing task of rotating the filter and detector to achieve the same result.

A laser transmitter unit is described, the unit including a laser diode 2 emitting radiation into a lens system. The lens system includes collimating lenses L1, L3 and focussing lenses L2, L4. Additionally, compensating or steering lens S1, S2 are positioned between the collimating lenses L1, L3 and the focussing lenses L2, L4. The steering lenses S1, S2 act to reduce the sensitivity of the focussing lenses L2, L4 to position within the lens system. The position the focussing lenses can be difficult to control particularly when the lenses are welded into position on the laser transmitter unit 1.

A semiconductor laser 1 and an optical fiber 4 are optically coupled via a first lens 2 and a second lens 3, the second lens is previously fixed to a module package 5 and the parts are mounted to the module package, when focal lengths of the first lens and the second lens are respectively designated by f1 and f2, an optical distance d between a principal plane 32 of the first lens on its side facing the second lens and a principal plane 33 of the second lens on its side facing the first lens, is made substantially equal to f1+f2. Thereby, there is provided an optical transmission module having low price capable of achieving a high coupling efficiency with high yield.
摘要:
Many optical components now use a microelectronic substrate called an optical micro-bench as a base from which to build. Conventional devices use one or more methods of fixing the various elements together and/or onto the semiconductor micro-bench. Typically these conventional methods require special coatings to be deposited on the substrate, and the use of a separate bonding material, e.g. solder, glass or adhesive. The present invention relates to the direct fixation of a semiconductor, e.g. silicon, indium phosphide or gallium arsenide, structural component to the micro-bench made of a similar material using a laser welding technique, which uses wavelengths that are not harmful to the other elements of the component. The present invention eliminates the use of any separate bonding material, as well as several steps in the bonding process.
