    Abstract: An optoelectronic device is used with an optical fiber for data transmission and has a transmitter mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) to emit light. A collimation lens on a lens block receives the light incident thereto. A microstructure on a reflective surface of the lens block has sections that reflect the light into attenuated portions. A focusing lens on the lens block focuses a first attenuated portion from first sections of the reflective surface to the optical fiber. Meanwhile, second sections of the reflective surface reflect a second attenuated portion to another reflective surface on the lens block. The second attenuated portion passes out of a refractive surface on the lens block to an receiver, which is mounted on the PCB adjacent the transmitter. The second attenuated portion of the light can be used to monitor the optical output of the transmitter.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device for immersion in a liquid coolant includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) having opposing sides and having an optoelectronic component coupled on one side. A lens block mounted to the side of the PCBA encloses a plenum over the optoelectronic component. An opening defined in the lens block forms a reflective surface. The lens block has a first lens facing the optoelectronic component and opposing the reflective surface. The lens block also has a second lens facing a ferrule, which connects to optical fibers and couples to the lens block. A first seal seals the lens block mounted to the PCBA and separates the plenum from the liquid coolant. An insert is disposed in the opening to protect the reflective surface, and a second seal seals the opening and the insert in the lens block. A third seal seals the ferrule to the lens block.
