Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PARALLEL OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER MODULE ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004070428
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of modular manufacturing process for a parallel optical transmitter, receiver and/or transceiver is disclosed. The modular process assembles an array of optoelectronic devices (135) to an array header (130) to form an optoelectronic array package (101). Once the optoelectronic array package (101) is assembled, it is tested and verified the functionality and alignment between the optoelectronic devices (135) and optical fibers. The optoelectronic array package (101) is subsequently coupled to an optical lens array (120) to form an array optical subassembly. After the array optical subassembly is tested, it is coupled to an optical fiber connector (100) to form an optical module (170). The optical module (170) is then tested to verify its functionality and alignment.
