Abstract
An apparatus and method of modular manufacturing process for a parallel optical transmitter, receiver and/or transceiver is disclosed. The modular process assembles an array of optoelectronic devices to an array header to form an optoelectronic array package. Once the optoelectronic array package is assembled, it is tested and verified the functionality and alignment between the optoelectronic devices and optical fibers. The optoelectronic array package is subsequently coupled to an optical lens array to form an array optical subassembly. After the array optical subassembly is tested, it is coupled to an optical fiber connector to form an optical module. The optical module is then tested to verify its functionality and alignment.
