Abstract
An optical transceiver for converting and coupling an information-containing electrical signal with an optical fiber including an optical fiber coiled over at least a portion of its length; a support element disposed in the transceiver module; a substrate for securing said coiled optical fiber to said support element to enable said coiled fiber to bend from a first direction to a second opposite direction inside said transceiver module; and an optical multiplexer secured to said substrate for receiving first and second optical fibers and multiplexing respective optical signals on said first and second optical fibers into a multi-wavelength beam onto a third optical fiber.
