Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing temperature of an optical signal source co-packaged with a driver are provided. An optical transmitter can include a housing. The optical transmitter can include an optical signal source positioned within the housing. The optical transmitter can include a signal source driver positioned within the housing and configured to control an output of the optical signal source. The optical transmitter can include a substrate mounted on an interior surface of the housing and having a microwave waveguide coupled to it. The microwave waveguide can be configured to direct electrical signals originating outside the housing to the signal source driver. The substrate is can also be configured to limit heat transfer from the signal source driver to the optical signal source.
