Abstract: The invention relates to an optical sub-assembly package for use in receiver optical sub-assemblies or transmitter optical sub-assemblies in which the electrical connections between the transducer chip, e.g. photo-detector or light source, and the device printed circuit board is made by a single flexible circuit conductor extending through the wall of the package. The package is comprised of a housing and a stiffening plate, which encloses and end of the housing and forms a mechanical support for an end of the flexible circuit conductor.

Abstract: An optical transceiver is controlled through the use of a monitor optical signal generator and monitor optical signal detector mounted in close physical proximity to the optical signal generator and detector of the transceiver in a housing having a reflective surface. The monitor optical signal generator transmits a reference optical signal that is reflected and directed to the monitor optical signal detector by the reflective surface of the housing. Changes in the reference optical signal detected at the monitor optical signal detector are used for controlling the optical signal generator of the transceiver.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for aligning a fiber optic cable with an optical component on a device carrier using a fiber optic lens assembly. One method provides that movement of the lens assembly is fixed with respect to the fiber optic cable. Light is sent through the lens assembly. The fixed lens assembly and fiber optic cable are moved with respect to the device carrier. The light sent though the fixed lens assembly is monitored, and movement of the fixed lens assembly is fixed with respect to the device carrier according to the monitored light. Another method provides that movement of the lens assembly is fixed with respect to the device carrier. Light is sent through the lens assembly. The fixed lens assembly and device carrier are moved with respect to the fiber optic cable. The light sent though the fixed lens assembly is monitored, and movement of the fixed lens assembly is fixed with respect to the fiber optic cable according to the monitored light. The present invention further provides aligned transceiver assemblies having a fiber optic cable, device carrier, and fiber optic lens assembly having features that facilitate alignment and fixing according to the invention methods.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber optic lens assembly and method of mounting a lens array in the same. The fiber optic lens assembly includes a housing including a lens mounting aperture formed therein. The housing includes at least one feature adjacent the lens mounting aperture. A lens array is positioned within the lens mounting aperture and adjacent the feature. At least one biasing member is positioned adjacent the lens array. The biasing member forces the lens array against the feature. The method includes positioning the lens array adjacent at least one feature formed in a lens mounting aperture of a housing. At least one biasing member is inserted in the lens mounting aperture adjacent the lens array. A cornering force is applied against the lens array with the biasing member.
