Abstract
An optical communications module includes first and second opto-electronic devices and an optics device, in which a common beam path axis is oriented in a rotated direction about the axis at which a fiber is coupleable to the optics device barrel. The optics device includes a TIR lens aligned with the barrel axis. The TIR lens reflects optical signals between the barrel axis and a common beam path axis oriented in a direction having X-axis and Y-axis components offset by non-zero amounts from the barrel axis. The common beam path axis intersects first and second reflective interfaces of the device. The first opto-electronic device is aligned along a first beam path axis that intersects the first reflective interface and the common beam path axis. The second opto-electronic device is aligned along a second beam path axis that intersects the second reflective interface and the common beam path.
