Abstract
An optical assembly package is provided for the optical receive components of an optical transceiver. The optical assembly package includes a receptacle subassembly configured to receive an end of an optical fiber. A housing is provided having an opening at one end configured to receive the receptacle assembly. Optical routing and wavelength demultiplexing elements are mounted to a bottom wall of the housing. An electrical subassembly comprising a support plate, a circuit board mounted on the support plate, an integrated circuit mounted to the circuit board, and a plurality of photodetectors mounted to the support plate proximate an edge of the circuit board. The electrical subassembly is positioned a stacked arrangement beneath the housing to minimize an overall length of the optical assembly package.
