Abstract
An assembly of electronic components enabling reception of data using an optical fiber includes: a photodiode; an amplifier coupled to the photodiode; a flexible printed circuit board, the photodiode and amplifier physically mounted on the flexible printed circuit board; a cover, the cover configured to cover the photodiode and the amplifier, wherein the cover is physically attached to the printed circuit board so as to provide mechanical rigidity around the photodiode, and the cover having an optically transparent aperture containing a lens configured to focus modulated light signals from a fiber onto the photodiode; and conductive bond wires configured to directly electrically couple the amplifier and the photodiode to conducting traces of the flexible printed circuit board.
