摘要: In general the present disclosure is directed to a temperature control device, e.g., a TEC, that includes a top plate with at least first and second contact pads to allow for a soldering process to attach optical components to the first contact pad without causing one or more layers of the second contact pad to reflow and solidify with an uneven mounting surface. Thus, optical components such as a focus lens can be mounted to the second contact pad via, for instance, thermal epoxy. This avoids the necessity of a submount to protect the focus lens from the relatively high heat introduced during a soldering process as well as maintain the flatness of the second contact pad within tolerance so that the mounted focus lens optically aligns by virtue of its physical location/orientation with other associated optical components coupled to the first contact pad, e.g., a laser diode.

摘要: In general, the present disclosure is directed to a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) module for use in an optical transceiver or transmitter that includes a magnetically-shielded optical isolator to minimize or otherwise reduce magnetization of TOSA components. An embodiment of the present disclosure includes a TOSA housing with magnetic shielding at least partially surrounding an optical isolator, with the magnetic shielding reflecting associated magnetic energy away from components, such as a metal TOSA housing or components disposed therein, that could become magnetized and adversely impact the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field associated with the optical isolator.

摘要: In accordance with an embodiment, a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) module is disclosed with a base portion that provides one or more mounting surfaces to mount a laser diode and associated driver circuitry in close proximity to allow for direct coupling without the use of an intermediate interconnect device, such as a flexible printed circuit or other interconnect device. The TOSA module base further includes a cylindrical shaped portion with a passageway extending therethrough. The substantially cylindrical shaped portion allows the TOSA module base to mount to a multi-channel TOSA housing via a Z-ring or other suitable welding ring without the use of an intermediate device such as a welding cap.

摘要: A coaxial transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) including a cuboid type TO laser package may be used in an optical transceiver for transmitting an optical signal at a channel wavelength. The cuboid type TO laser package is made of a thermally conductive material and has substantially flat outer surfaces that may be thermally coupled to substantially flat outer surfaces on a transceiver housing and/or on other cuboid type TO laser packages. An optical transceiver may include multiple coaxial TOSAs with the cuboid type TO laser packages stacked in the transceiver housing. The cuboid type TO laser package may thus provide improved thermal characteristics and a reduced size within the optical transceiver.

摘要: An optical transceiver assembly includes a thermal dual arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) for both multiplexing and demultiplexing optical signals. The thermal dual AWG may be used as an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer with an array of laser emitters and an array of photodetectors to provide a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) and a receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) in the optical transceiver assembly. The thermal dual AWG may be formed as a single chip, and a temperature control device, such as thermoelectric cooler (TEC), may be used in the transceiver to stabilize the temperature of the AWG. In an embodiment, an external reflector may be used at a transmit output of the dual AWG to complete the lasing cavities after the AWG, thereby providing a laser array mux assembly. The optical transceiver device may also be part of a larger system, such as a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network (PON).

摘要: An optical sub-assembly cartridge for use in a multi-channel receiver optical sub-assembly (ROSA) is disclosed and includes pre-aligned demultiplexing optics. The optical sub-assembly cartridge may include a plurality of sidewalls which define a cartridge body and at least partially enclose a cavity therein. A sidewall of the cartridge body may include a sidewall opening configured to allow light to enter the cavity. A first optical filter disposed opposite the sidewall opening may receive light entering the cavity and be configured to pass unassociated channel wavelengths out of the cavity while reflecting associated channel wavelengths to a mirror disposed in the cavity. The mirror may then reflect the received channel wavelengths to a second optical filter within or external to the cavity. The second optical filter may emit a narrow spectrum of channel wavelengths to a photodiode package to convert the same to a proportional electrical signal.

摘要: The present disclosure is generally directed to a TO can laser package that includes an off-center focus lens integrated into a lens cap to compensate displacement of an associated laser diode. The TO can laser package includes a TO header with a mounting structure for directly electrically coupling an associated laser diode to electrical leads/pins without the use of an intermediate interconnect. The mounting structure displaces the laser diode such that an emission surface, and more particularly, an origin thereof, is displaced/offset relative to a center of the TO header. The integrated lens cap includes a focus lens with an optical center that is offset from a center of the TO header at a distance that is substantially equal to the displacement of the laser diode. Thus, the displacement of the laser diode is compensated for by the off-center focus lens to minimize or otherwise reduce optical misalignment.

摘要: The present disclosure is generally directed to a lens clip that includes an optical lens slot to securely hold an optical lens at a predetermined position to mitigate effects of post-annealing shift. The lens clip includes a base that provides at least one substrate mating surface for mounting to a substrate, and at least first and second arms extending from the base. The first and second arms extend substantially parallel relative to each other and define at least a portion of an optical lens slot. The optical lens slot is configured to receive at least a portion of an optical lens and securely hold the optical lens at a predetermined position to ensure optical alignment of the optical lens, e.g., relative to an associated laser diode or other optical component, during fixation of the optical lens to the substrate using, for instance, UV-curing optical adhesives.

摘要: A coaxial transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) including a side-by-side laser diode and monitor photodiode package, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure, may be used in an optical transceiver for transmitting an optical signal at a channel wavelength. In an embodiment, the coaxial TOSA includes a laser sub-mount coupled to a mounting region defined by a body of the coaxial TOSA. The laser sub-mount includes a monitor photodiode disposed adjacent to a side of a laser diode such that a sensor region of the monitor photodiode is disposed within, or in close proximity to, a light cone emitted by a light emitting surface of the laser diode. The monitor photodiode is thus configured to directly receive a portion of emitted channel wavelengths from the laser diode for monitoring purposes.

摘要: Layered coaxial transmitter optical subassemblies (TOSAs) with a support bridge therebetween may be used in an optical transmitter or transceiver for transmitting optical signals at multiple channel wavelengths. The coaxial TOSAs may include cuboid type TO laser packages having substantially flat outer surfaces that may be mounted on substantially flat outer surfaces on a transmitter or transceiver housing or on the support bridge. The support bridge supports and isolates one layer of the TOSAs mounted over another layer of the TOSAs such that the TOSAs may be stacked to fit within a small space without sacrificing optical coupling efficiency.
