Abstract
An optical transmitter module and method for making the module utilizes a housing structure having an integrated lens. The housing structure includes an output opening, which has a central axis along a first direction, to receive an optical fiber. The optical transmitter module further comprises conductive pins that are attached to the housing structure such that the conductive pins extend from the housing structure in a second direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The optical transmitter module further comprises a light source mounted on one of the conductive pins such that light from the light source is emitted along the first direction toward the integrated lens of the housing structure to transmit the light into the optical fiber.
