An optical transceiver converting and coupling an information-containing electrical signal with an optical fiber including a housing conforming to the industry standard XENPAK&#x2122; form factor including an electrical connector for coupling with an external electrical cable or information system device and for transmitting and/or receiving an information-containing electrical communications signal, and a fiber optic connector adapted for coupling with an external optical fiber for transmitting and/or receiving an optical communications signal. At least one electro-optical subassembly is provided in the housing for converting between an information-containing electrical signal and a modulated optical signal corresponding to the electrical signal, along with a modular, interchangeable communications protocol processing printed circuit board in the housing for processing the communications signal into a predetermined electrical or optical communications protocol, such as the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit BASE LX4 physical layer.

Modular optical transceiver

A hermetically sealed optical transmitter module for use in an optical transceiver converting and coupling an information-containing electrical signal with an optical fiber. A plurality of semiconductor lasers are provided on a common support in the housing for converting between an information-containing electrical signal and a modulated optical signal corresponding to the electrical signal according to a standardized optical communications protocol, such as the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit BASE LX4 physical layer.

Modular optical transmitter for WWDM transceivers

A modular, hermetically sealed optical signal receiver subassembly for converting a modulated optical signal to a corresponding electrical signal including an optical demultiplexer coupled to a fiber optic connector receiving a multi-wavelength optical signal having a plurality of information-containing signals each with a different predetermined wavelength and functioning to demultiplex the optical signal into distinct first and second optical beams corresponding to the predetermined wavelength and substrate is provided that forms an optional reference path of the first and second beams respectively, the photodiodes functioning to convert the respective optical signals into an electrical signal.
