Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to an optical transceiver housing for use in an optical transceiver module with at least one vapor chamber integrated into the transceiver housing. In more detail, the transceiver housing includes at least first and second housing portions on opposite sides and forming a compartment defined by one or more inner surfaces therein. The vapor chamber includes a heat input side and a heat output side on opposite sides of the vapor chamber. An outer wall of at least one of the housing portions may be defined at least in part by the heat output side of the vapor chamber such that the heat output side is exposed to outside of the transceiver housing for transferring heat from inside to outside the optical transceiver module.

Abstract: A broadband digital access (BDA) architecture includes a BDA hub device in a headend/hub and one or more BDA node modules in one or more HFC nodes to enable digital communications between the headend/hub and the HFC node(s) in a CATV/HFC network. The BDA hub device and the BDA node module(s) are connected by one or more downstream optical fibers and one or more upstream optical fibers to enable digital optical communications therebetween. The BDA hub device provides an analog RF interface with equipment in the headend/hub and the BDA node module provides an analog RF interface with subscriber locations via one or more coaxial cables.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to an EML with a filter layer disposed between an active region of the EML and a substrate of the EML to absorb a portion of unmodulated light energy, and preferably the unmodulated light energy caused by transverse electric (TE) substrate mode. The filter layer preferably comprises a material with an energy band gap (Eg) that is less than the energy band gap of the predetermined channel wavelength to absorb unmodulated laser light.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to an optical demultiplexer for use in an optical transceiver module having a truncated profile/shape to increase tolerance and accommodate adjacent optical components. In more detail, the optical demultiplexer comprises a body with at least one truncated corner at the input end. The at least one truncated corner allows the optical demultiplexer to be disposed/mounted, e.g., directly, on a densely populated transceiver substrate, e.g., a printed circuit board (PBC), and provide additional tolerance/space for mounting of circuitry and/or components within the region that would normally be occupied by corner(s) of the optical demultiplexer body. The at least one truncated corner may be introduced in a post-production step, e.g., via cut & polishing, or introduced during formation of the optical demultiplexer using, for instance, photolithography techniques.

Abstract: In general, a temperature control device for use in laser assemblies and optical subassemblies is disclosed that includes at least two electrically conductive terminals to enable flexible electrical coupling to associated components, e.g., monitor photodiodes and laser diodes, and accommodate a range of laser assembly configurations without the necessity of supplying a negative voltage rail. In more detail, a temperature control device consistent with the present disclosure includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and a plurality of semiconductor elements disposed therebetween. The top plate includes a component mounting surface that provides at least a first and second electrically conductive terminal/pad. The first and second electrically conductive terminals/pads can be electrically isolated, e.g., via a gap, and configured to provide first and second voltage potentials respectively.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a lens clip that defines at least one mounting surface for coupling to and supporting an array of optical components, e.g., a laser diode and associated components, and an optical lens slot to receive and securely hold an array of optical lenses at a predetermined position relative to the optical components to ensure nominal optical coupling. The optical lens slot includes dimensions that permit insertion of each optical lens into the same and restrict travel along one or more axis. Accordingly, disposing an optical lens within the lens slot ensures correct alignment along at least two axis, e.g., Z and X, with the third axis (e.g., Y) extending parallel along the slot to permit lateral adjustment of each lens.

Abstract: A temperature controlled multi-channel transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA), consistent with embodiments described herein, may be used in a multi-channel optical transceiver. The temperature controlled multi-channel TOSA generally includes an array of lasers to emit a plurality of different channel wavelengths. The lasers may be thermally tuned to the channel wavelengths by establishing a global temperature for the array of lasers such that the amount of heat communicated to each laser is substantially the same. The global temperature may be established, at least in part, by monitoring the shortest channel wavelength and/or a temperature of the lasers. The temperature of the lasers may then get increased via a shared heating device in thermal communication with the lasers until the shortest monitored wavelength substantially reaches the nominal shortest wavelength or the measured temperature substantially equals the global temperature.

Abstract: A coaxial seizure assembly is disclosed that includes an integrated mechanical stop that prevents over-insertion and maintains a nominal/expected impedance value to enable high-frequency switching, e.g., 1.8-3 Ghz or greater. In more detail, the coaxial seizure assembly includes a coaxial receptacle defined by an opening configured to at least partially receive and couple to a coaxial connector. The opening communicates with a seizure cavity defined within the coaxial seizure assembly. A radio frequency (RF) interconnect at least partially extends into the seizure cavity, with the RF interconnect having a first end to electrically couple to an electrical component and a second end that extends a predetermined angle relative to the first end, e.g., substantially 90 degrees. The second end defines a mating surface that aligns within the seizure cavity such that an imaginary line drawn along an insertion path of a coaxial cable conductor pin intersects with the mating surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a component bridge that couples to a feedthrough device to provide additional component mounting surface area within a TOSA housing, and preferably, within a hermetically-sealed TOSA housing. The component bridge includes a body that defines a component mounting surface to couple to electrical components, e.g., one or more filtering capacitors, and a notched portion to provide an accommodation groove. The component bridge includes at least one projection/leg for coupling to a mounting surface of a feedthrough device. The accommodation groove of the component bridge allows for other electrical components, e.g., RF traces, to be patterned/disposed on to the mounting surface and extend at least partially through the accommodation groove while remaining electrically isolated from the same. Accordingly, the component bridge further increases available component mounting surface area for existing feedthrough devices without necessity of re-design and/or modification.
