摘要： A parallel optical communications device is provided that has an OSA that includes at least one heat dissipation block having a slot formed in a lower surface thereof that contains a weldable insert. Likewise, an upper surface of the mounting device of the ESA has at least one slot formed therein that contains a weldable insert. After the OSA is placed in contact with the ESA and optically aligned with the ESA, the OSA is secured to the upper surface of the mounting device of the ESA by welding together the respective weldable inserts contained in the respective slots in the OSA and in the mounting device of the ESA. The welding process results in an extremely strong welded joint between the OSA and the ESA that prevents relative movement between the OSA and the ESA if external forces that are exerted on the OSA and/or on the ESA.

摘要： A low-profile optical communications module is provided that has two generally flat optical connector modules that slidingly engage one another to allow optical signals to be coupled between the optical connector modules. Because of the generally flat shapes of the optical connector modules and the manner in which they slidingly engage on another, the optical communications module has a very low profile that makes it well suited for use in thin devices, such as laptop and notebook computers and other electronics devices.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing electromagnetic interference (EMI) containment in a parallel optical communications system. The apparatus includes a curved surface formed in the system housing near the opening through which a stack of ribbon cables passes, and a spring device. The stack of ribbon cables is sandwiched in between the curved surface of the housing and the spring device. The spring device exerts a force on the stack of ribbon cables that presses the stack against the curved surface of the housing and forms a sharp bend in the stack just before the stack passes through the opening in the housing. Because EMI radiation is restricted to propagation along the sharply bent pathway of the stack of ribbon cables, most or all of the EMI radiation traveling along that pathway is either attenuated or reflected before it reaches the opening.

摘要： An optical transceiver module is provided with an elongated delatching pull tab that that enables an optical transceiver module to be easily delatched and pulled from a cage without having to first unplug optical fiber cables from the module and without having to rotate a bail. Thus, the number of manual actions that need to be performed by a user to remove the module from a cage is drastically reduced, which makes simplifies the removal process and makes the design well suited for use in hot-pluggable environments. In addition, the delatching pull tab obviates the need for pins or screws, thereby improving manufacturing yield by reducing the likelihood that the module will be damaged during the manufacturing process. In addition, by eliminating pins or screws and a bail from the design, there are fewer moving parts that can wear out over time.

摘要： Independent assemblies are compliantly mounted to a force transfer mechanism to optically align and thermally couple a device under test (DUT) to a test apparatus. A first assembly includes an optical connector. The first assembly has an alignment feature and a first compliant interface. A second assembly includes a thermal control member and force transfer members coupled to a structure. A passage permits a portion of the arm of the first assembly to extend through the structure. The force transfer members provide respective seats for an additional compliant interface. The alignment feature engages a corresponding feature to align the optical connector with the DUT before the compliant interfaces compress under an external force. Compliant mounting of the assemblies accommodates manufacturing tolerances in the DUT so that contact forces on the DUT are relatively consistent and thereby enable consistent optical and thermal coupling between the test apparatus and the DUT.

摘要： A side-edge mountable parallel optical communications module and an optical communications system that incorporates one or more of the modules are provided. In the optical communications system, one or more of the side-edge mountable parallel optical communications modules are side-edge mounted in respective edge card connectors, which, in turn, are mounted on a surface of a motherboard PCB. Because the modules are relatively thin and because the spacing, or pitch, between the modules can be kept very small, the system can have a very high mounting density, and consequently, a very high bandwidth.

摘要： A guide rail system is provided that allows multiple optical communications modules to be mounted in close proximity to one another on a host circuit board. A first portion of the guide rail system is secured to a bottom surface of the host circuit board at locations on the bottom surface of the circuit board adjacent an opening formed in the circuit board. A second portion of the guide rail system is disposed on bottom surfaces of the optical communications modules. The first portion includes one or more pairs of rails and the second portion includes one or more guide blocks configured to slidingly engage the rails. The opening formed in the circuit board allows the rails to be accessed and also allows heat from the module to be dissipated down into the first portion and then into a heat dissipation structure secured to the first portion.
