Lens mount assembly for optical components

An optical transceiver module, comprising:

• a housing containing a printed circuit board and at least one optical subassembly, wherein the at least one optical subassembly includes a lens mount assembly, the lens mount assembly comprising:
• a lens having a cylindrical outer periphery, the outer periphery bounded by first and second surfaces through which an optical signal can pass;
• a compliant retention tube having a first end that is in communication with a volume defined by an inner surface of the retention tube, wherein the lens is received via the first end into the volume such that the outer periphery engages the retention tube inner surface in a press fit;
• and
• a mounting surface that engages a portion of the at least one optical subassembly to secure the lens mount assembly with respect to the at least one optical subassembly.

In an optical subassembly, a lens mount assembly, comprising:

• a lens;
• a base having an outer diameter bounded by first and second ends, the outer diameter including a corrugated surface that engages a surface of the optical subassembly to secure the lens mount assembly therein;
• and
• a retention tube coupled to the base, the retention tube defining a volume by a cylindrical wall that compliantly deforms to at least partially receive the lens within the volume in a press fit arrangement, wherein the cylindrical wall includes a region of additional compliance proximate the lens to prevent lens movement.
