An opto-electric module adapted to be coupled with an optical fiber on a first side and a plurality of electrical conductors on a second side. The opto-electric module includes a header with a plurality of pins extending through the header a thermo-electric cooler with a hot plate of the thermo-electric cooler disposed against a second, opposing side of the header and a plurality of active and passive optical components adapted to convert between an optical signal format within the optical fiber and an electrical signal format within at least one conductor of the plurality of conductors, said plurality of active and passive optical components all being in thermal contact with a cold plate of the thermo-electric cooler.

Coaxial cooled laser modules with integrated thermal electric cooler and optical components

An optical interface between an optical fiber and a laser is provided. The optical fiber has a core and an end. The optical interface includes a mirror that is capable of receiving an optical output of the laser and of reflecting the optical output to the end of the optical fiber such that a chief ray of the optical output is incident on the core of the optical fiber. The optical interface also includes a lens located such that the chief ray of the optical output traverses a center of the lens. Such optical interface may be used in a transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) having a vertical TO package for un-cooled lasers.
