    Abstract: An optical transceiver can include a transmitter and a receiver. The optical transceiver is configured to mate with an electrical connector in first and second orientations that are opposite each other. In certain examples, a thermally conductive surface of the transceiver is configured to be placed in thermal communication with a heat dissipation member in one or both of the first and second orientations. Further examples of optical transceivers can be mounted to a base and placed in electrical communication with an electrical connector. A lid provides a compressive force that simultaneously makes electrical contact between the transceiver and a host printed circuit board (PCB) and provides a low impedance heat transfer path to dissipate heat generated during transceiver operation.

    Abstract: A connector includes a housing; a cage surrounding the housing; first contacts that are located in the housing and that transmit high-speed signals; second contacts that are located in the housing, that transmit low-speed signals, and that each include a portion that extends from a top surface of the housing; first cables connected to the first contacts; and second cables connected to the second contacts.

    Abstract: A method to reduce the number and type of processing steps to achieve conductive lines in the planes of a substrate concurrently interconnecting conductor through the substrate, by forming structures in the planes of a substrate. These structures may include interconnect lines, bond pads, and other structures, and improve the performance of subsequent unique processing while simultaneously reducing the manufacturing complexity to reduce time and cost. These structures are formed by selective etching using chemical mechanical polishing, and then completed using a single fill step with a conductive material.

    Abstract: An optical transceiver can include a transmitter having a photonic integrated circuit, and a receiver having a current-to-voltage converter and a photodetector in electrical communication with the current-to-voltage converter and separate from the photonic integrated circuit. Each of the transmitter and the receiver can include an interconnect member that includes first and second optical paths for the propagation of optical transmit signals and optical receive signals, respectively. The interconnect members of the transmitter and receiver can further define electrical paths that are configured to connect to an underlying substrate at one end, and the transmitter and receiver, respectively. The interconnect members can be separate from each other or can define a single monolithic interconnect member.
