Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a fiber connector module and method for coupling optical signals between an optical transceiver module and an optical fiber described herein involve the coupling to or overmolding of a fiber connector module to an optical transceiver module or other optical source, and a fiber lens coupled to for formed into an angled surface of the fiber connector module housing. The angled surface and the fiber lens are configured in such a way that the fiber lens focuses collimated light from the transceiver module to the receiving end of an optical fiber or other optical detector positioned within the fiber connector module housing. Fiber connector modules according to embodiments of the invention allow for relatively low profiles compared to conventional arrangements and configurations, especially with multi-channel, parallel lane configurations.
