Abstract
Multi-laser transmitter optical subassemblies (TOSAs) for optoelectronic modules. In one example embodiment, a multi-laser TOSA includes first and second lasers configured to generate first and second optical signals, respectively, a polarization beam combiner (PBC), first and second collimating lenses positioned between the first and second lasers, respectively, and the PBC, a half waveplate positioned between the first laser and the PBC, and a focusing lens. The half waveplate is configured to rotate the polarization of the first optical signal. The PBC is configured to combine the first and second optical signals and transmit the combined first and second optical signals toward the focusing lens.
