An optical assembly package is provided for the optical receive components of an optical transceiver. The optical assembly package includes a receptacle subassembly configured to receive an end of an optical fiber. A housing is provided having an opening at one end configured to receive the receptacle assembly. Optical routing and wavelength demultiplexing elements are mounted to a bottom wall of the housing. An electrical subassembly comprising a support plate, a circuit board mounted on the support plate, an integrated circuit mounted to the circuit board, and a plurality of photodetectors mounted to the support plate proximate an edge of the circuit board. The electrical subassembly is positioned a stacked arrangement beneath the housing to minimize an overall length of the optical assembly package.

Compact multiple channel optical receiver assembly package

A pluggable light source device connects in a plug-in engaging manner with an optical modulating device that includes an optical modulator component. The pluggable light source includes a light generator to generate an optical signal to be output from the light source device, and a connection member disposed at a connecting end of the light source device. The connection member includes an optical connector, where the optical connector of the light source device is configured to engage with a corresponding optical connector of the optical modulating device when the connecting end of the light source device is connected via a plug-in engagement with a connection member of the optical modulating device so as to facilitate input of optical signals from the light generator to the optical modulator component.
