Abstract
In one embodiment, an optical transceiver assembly includes an active component substrate, first and second fiber securing devices, and a holder device coupled to the active component substrate. The holder device includes an active optical component recess that encloses a first and second active optical component of the active component assembly, and first and second fiber-locating holes having an engagement feature at the active optical component recess such that an end of first and second fibers inserted into the first and second fiber-locating holes are aligned with the first and second active optical components along the x-, y-, and z-axes. In another embodiment, an optical component assembly includes an active component substrate having a solder ring, a fiber securing device, and an active optical component on the active component substrate. The fiber securing device is aligned with the active optical component by the solder ring.
