Short-waveband active optical component based on vertical emitting laser and multi-mode optical fiber

An active optical transmitter module for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) used with an optical fiber, the active optical transmitter module comprising:

• a plurality of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), each being configured to emit an optical signal;
• at least one photodiode being arranged in parallel to the VCSELs and being configured to receive at least one feedback signal;
• an array having first lenses, the first lenses disposed in optical communication with the VCSELs and the at least one photodiode;
• and
• a Z-block-shaped prism having a plurality of incident faces, an exit end, and at least one output face, the incident faces disposed in optical communication with the first lenses, the at least one output face disposed in optical communication with the at least photodiode, wherein the exit end is configured to output the optical signals to a first end of the optical fiber and receive at least one feedback signal therefrom.
