Abstract
The optical communication module can be coupled to at least one optical fiber and includes at least one optoelectronic device, a base portion, and a cover portion which can be connected to the base portion to define an internal chamber to house the optoelectronic device. The cover portion includes at least one window to couple at least one optical signal between the at least one device and the optical fiber. The module further includes a plate, substantially transparent to the optical signal, having a first side facing the cover portion and a second side facing the internal chamber, the first plate substantially enabling sealing of the window. A shielding plate can be connected to the second side and provided with at least one opening substantially aligned with the window to enable passage of the optical signal.
