Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a keyed optical component assembly that ensures that the same has a proper orientation when press-fit into or otherwise coupled to a complimentary opening of an optical subassembly housing. In an embodiment, the keyed optical component assembly includes a base portion defined by a first end and a second end disposed opposite the first end along a longitudinal axis. A first arcuate region extends from the first end towards the second end and transitions into a tapered region. A second arcuate region extends from the second end towards the first end and also transitions into the tapered region. Therefore, the tapered region extends between the first arcuate region and the second arcuate region, and generally tapers/narrows from the second arcuate region to the first arcuate region. The resulting shape of the base portion may generally be described as an asymmetric tear-drop shape.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) having one or more recessed mounting regions is disclosed in order to decrease the overall footprint of the TOSA within an optical transceiver housing. The TOSA includes a housing having at least a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed on opposite sides of the housing relative to each other. The housing further includes a first step portion defined by the first sidewall and a first recessed mounting region extending from about the first step portion along the longitudinal axis towards the second end. The first recessed mounting region is defined by an external surface of the first sidewall that is offset from a surface defining the first step portion by a first offset distance. The first recessed mounting region includes at least one sidewall opening to couple to optical component assemblies.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a welding assembly is disclosed that allows for a laser assembly to be coupled into a socket of the same and held at a fixed position, e.g., by a mechanical grabber of a welding system. The mechanical grabber may then travel along one or more axis to bring the TOSA module into mechanical alignment with an opening of an associated optical subassembly housing. The welding assembly may further include an alignment member that provides one or more alignment contact surfaces configured to be brought directly into contact with a surface of the associated subassembly housing. When the one or more alignment contact surfaces are “flush” with the surface of the subassembly housing the emission face of the TOSA module is substantially parallel, and by extension, optically aligned with the opening of the associated subassembly housing.

Abstract: An optical component holder having a base portion with a chamfered (or step) portion is disclosed herein that allows a technician to position and partially insert the same within an associated opening using a relatively minor amount of force. The chamfered portion of the base portion operates, in a general sense, as a guide that ensures proper alignment of the optical component holder and allows the same to travel a predetermined distance within the opening before being blocked from further travel by “bottoming” out when the wider portion of the base is at the edge of the associated opening. Thus, the chamfered portion provides an alignment feature to provide tactile feedback that indicates to the technician that the optical component holder is aligned and evenly inserted into an associated opening prior to supplying additional force to press the optical component holder fully into a housing.
