Abstract
An optical sub-assembly includes a circuit and one or more electronic components electrically connected to the circuit. One of the electronic components is an optoelectronic device capable of transmitting or receiving light signals. Mounted to a surface of the optoelectronic device is an optical conduit. A first end of the optical conduit mounts to the optoelectronic device and a second end optionally cooperates with an optical component, such as a lens. The optical conduit channels light signals propagating toward or away from the optoelectronic device, while the optical component focuses or collimates such light signals. Securing the optical conduit relative to the optoelectronic device is a protective material such as a resin, epoxy, or other suitable material.
