摘要:
An optoelectronic subassembly includes a planar substrate, a set of guide pins, and a support block. The planar substrate has an array of photoactive components mounted on the planar substrate and a set of apertures in the planar substrate are aligned with the photoactive components. The set of guide pins have proximal and distal ends extending through the set of apertures in the planar substrate. The support block includes a set of support passages in which the distal ends of the guide pins are cemented, and a support face which is at right angles to the set of support passages. The optoelectronic subassembly is for use in a fiber optic communications transceiver which is adapted for being mechanically and optically connected to an optical ferrule. The optical ferrule supports an array of optical communications fibers.

A transceiver assembly includes a frame section, a rigid printed circuit board, a flex circuit, and an edge connector. The frame section includes a flex circuit layer for use in carrying data, and control and power signals, and an optoelectronic device. The rigid printed circuit board includes a first rigid printed circuit board layer and a flex circuit layer for use in carrying data, and control and power signals. The flex circuit is for carrying data, and control and power signals which flexibly links the rigid printed circuit board to the frame section and forms the flex circuit layers in the rigid printed circuit board and the frame section. The edge connector is formed on one end of the printed circuit board by a plurality of connection pads disposed along one edge of the printed circuit board.

A frame section includes a flex circuit layer, a support layer, and a silicon substrate carrier. The flex circuit layer includes a plurality of communication lines and having a flex circuit window section. The support layer includes a support layer window smaller that the flex circuit window section so as to define an inwardly extending support shelf. The silicon substrate carrier is mounted on the support shelf in the support layer window and includes an optoelectronic device supported on the silicon substrate carrier. The optoelectronic device includes a set of photoactive components. The frame section is used for supporting the optoelectronic device within a fiber optic transceiver assembly which in turn is used for connecting to a fiber optic ferrule supporting a set of fiber optic communication fibers.

Electro-optical communications may be facilitated between electrical devices by providing pluggable electro-optic modules. The pluggable electro-optic modules may be pluggingly received within U-shaped electrical connectors associated with printed circuit boards on both the receive and transmit ends. In some cases, the pluggable modules may be plugged in to establish communications and may be removed for repair or replacement.

A lens array for use in fiber optic communications modules where multiple optical fibers are used in either transmitting or receiving optical signals. The lens array is adapted for optically interfacing a set of photoactive components such as semiconductor lasers or photo diodes deployed on an integrated circuit chip with a set of optical communications fibers supported in a ferrule. The individual lens elements within the array are shaped to have a greater height than width and are fitted together by being truncated along their boundaries with adjoining lenses. The increased height of the lens elements allows them to gather and transfer more light between the photoactive components and the optical fibers.

An optical fiber connector for releasably coupling an optical fiber to an electro-optical module is disclosed. The optical fiber connector includes a housing, a strain relief, a fiber retention clip, and a pair of latching arms. The housing includes a housing bore defined through at least a portion of the housing and adapted to accommodate the exterior diameter of a typical optical fiber. The optical fiber extending through the strain relief and into the housing bore, terminating at an end of the housing. The optical fiber is retained by the housing by the utilization of the fiber retention clip. The latching arms are arranged to releasable attach the connector to an electro-optical device such that the optical fiber and an optical lens disposed in the electro-optical device are aligned.
