A small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module and method for performing optical communications are provided. The SFP optical transceiver module has a housing to which a duplex receptacle is secured. The duplex receptacle has a C-shaped opening, the upper and lower portions of which are defined by upper and lower flexible retaining elements for receiving and retaining a duplex optical connector therein. An electrical assembly of the module is secured within the transceiver module housing. The electrical assembly comprises a PCB, the back end of which is configured as a plug end for removably plugging the PCB into a receptacle of an external communications management system.

Small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module and method

Various embodiments of duplex fiber optic connectors and optical transceiver modules are provided. One embodiment comprises an optical transceiver module comprising: an integrally-formed housing having a duplex front port with a pair of alignment holes for receiving a pair of ferrules from a duplex fiber optic connector, the duplex front port having an upper flexible retaining element and a lower flexible retaining element for retaining the pair of ferrules from the duplex fiber optic connector; an opto-electronic assembly contained within the housing; and an electrical interface extending from the integrally-formed housing.

An electro-optical assembly (EA) is provided in which the transmitter and receiver components are integrated together on a single circuit board, which is encapsulated in a single molded EA package. Integrating the transmitter and receiver components on a single circuit board allows the size and complexity of the EA to be greatly reduced as compared to the traditional TO-can and FOT architectures. A standard semiconductor inline automation system and process may be used to manufacture the EA packages so that they may be mass produced with improved throughput, yield and quality as compared to the method currently used to manufacture and assemble the known EA used in the traditional TO-can and FOT architectures.

Electro-optical assembly and method for making an electro-optical assembly

Various embodiments of optical subassemblies, and arrangements and methods for manufacturing same, for an electro-optical assembly are disclosed. One embodiment comprises an optical subassembly for an electro-optical assembly. The optical subassembly comprises a printed circuit board, an optical semiconductor device, and an optical element. The printed circuit board has a first surface, a second surface, and an aperture therethrough. The optical semiconductor device is attached to the first surface with an active region exposed to the aperture. The optical element is attached to the second surface with an optical axis exposed to the aperture and optically aligned with the active region.

Optical subassembly for an electro-optical assembly

An optical element includes a light absorbing medium formed of a transparent material and light absorbing elements encapsulated within the transparent material. The light absorbing elements have an ultraviolet (UV) light-dependent absorption characteristic and UV light is applied to the light absorbing medium to change the attenuation of the light absorbing medium to a desired attenuation. UV light is applied to the light absorbing medium in a controlled manner to change the attenuation of the light absorbing medium from an initial attenuation to the desired attenuation. The application of UV light to the light absorbing medium can cause the light absorbing elements encapsulated within the light absorbing medium to degrade such that the amount of light absorbed by the light absorbing medium is reduced. Reducing the amount of light that is absorbed effectively reduces the attenuation of the light absorbing medium.

UV adjustable optical attenuator

In one embodiment, a lens has an object surface and an image surface, with the shape of the image surface being defined by an equation having a conic component and a cone component. The lens may be incorporated into an optical receiver having a photodetector that is positioned to receive light emitted from the image surface of the lens. In some uses, the image surface of the lens mitigates return loss through the lens.
