Abstract: Methods for assembly of optical transceivers. In one example, the method is performed in connection with an optical transceiver that includes a transmitter optical subassembly and a receiver optical subassembly, as well as structure that defines a pair of ports with which the transmitter optical subassembly and receiver optical subassembly, respectively, are to be aligned. This example of the method involves positioning the transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly in a desired position relative to each other. The transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly are then fixed in the desired position. Next, the transmitter optical subassembly is aligned with one of the ports, and the receiver optical subassembly is aligned with the other port. The alignment of both the transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly with their respective ports is performed in a single operation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a dual stage modular optical device for sending and/or receiving optical signals. A first fabricated package includes a light source for generating optical signals and/or a light detector for detecting received optical signals. A second fabricated package includes an opening for accepting circuitry that is to electrically interoperate with the light source and/or light detector to transfer optical signals. A lead frame mechanically connects the first fabricated package to the second fabricated package and electrically connects the light source and/or light detector to contacts exposed in the opening. The dual stage modular optical device can be coupled to a substrate configured to be received within a standard slot of a host system, such as a PCI or PCMCIA slot. Thus, one or more optical connections are integrated within the host device or system.
