    Abstract: An optical module comprising: a plurality of active optoelectronic components each one mounted on a respective printed circuit board (PCB), wherein each active optoelectronic component is associated with a respective different optical channel; a plurality of optical assemblies, each one is substantially aligned over a different respective optical channel; and a spacer separating the active optoelectronic components and PCBs from the optical assemblies, wherein the optical assemblies are attached by adhesive directly to an optical assembly-side surface of the spacer. A first active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a first optical assembly by a first distance and a second active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a second optical assembly by a different second distance. Also contemplated is a method for fabricating an optical module that comprises: modifying a height of one or more extensions on a spacer to adjust for at least one of a focal length or tilt of at least one optical channel.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an optoelectronic component mounted to a PCB substrate. A transmissive adhesive is disposed directly on the optoelectronic component and is transmissive to light of a wavelength sensed by, or emitted by, the optoelectronic component. The apparatus includes an optical filter disposed directly on the transmissive adhesive. An epoxy laterally surrounds and is in contact with side surfaces of the transmissive adhesive and the optical filter. The epoxy is non-transmissive to light of a wavelength sensed by, or emitted by, the optoelectronic component. In some cases, the epoxy defines a recess directly over the optical filter to accommodate an optical component, such as an optical diffuser. Methods of fabricating the modules are disclosed as well.

    Abstract: Manufacturing optoelectronic modules includes supporting a printed circuit board substrate (27) on a first vacuum injection tool (24). The printed circuit board substrate (27) has at least one optoelectronic component mounted thereon and has a solder mask (40) on a surface (46) facing away from the first vacuum injection tool (24). The method includes causing the first vacuum injection tool (24) and a second vacuum injection tool (22) to be brought closer to one another such that a surface (46) of the second vacuum injection tool (22) is in contact with the solder mask (40). Subsequently, a first epoxy (100, 20) is provided, using a vacuum injection technique, in spaces (104) between the upper tool (22) and the solder mask (40).
