Abstract
A system, optical assembly, and optical communication system are disclosed. The optical assembly is disclosed as including an optoelectronic component having a predetermined shape and an optical module that permits light emitted by the optoelectronic component or travelling to the optoelectronic component to pass therethough. The optical module is further disclosed as including a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface of the optical module including a first mating feature to receive the optoelectronic component, and the second surface of the optical module including a receptacle to receive and align an optical fiber with the optoelectronic component.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an optoelectronic component having a predetermined shape;
- an optical module that permits light emitted by the optoelectronic component or travelling to the optoelectronic component to pass therethrough, wherein the optical module comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the first surface of the optical module comprises at least one non-planar feature that corresponds to a first mating feature to receive the optoelectronic component and fix a position of the optoelectronic component with respect to the first surface of the optical module via solder bumps or a flip-chip bonding process, wherein the second surface of the optical module comprises at least one non-planar feature that corresponds to a receptacle to receive and align an optical fiber with the optoelectronic component, and wherein the optical module comprises at least one lens that is integral to the optical module and that is positioned in an optical path between the optoelectronic component and the receptacle;
- and
- a signal processing unit that is in electrical communication with the optoelectronic component.
An optical assembly, comprising:
- an optoelectronic component having a predetermined shape;
- an optical module that permits light emitted by the optoelectronic component or travelling to the optoelectronic component to pass therethrough, wherein the optical module comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the first surface of the optical module comprises a first mating feature to receive the optoelectronic component, wherein an anti-reflective coating is provided in the first mating feature, and wherein the second surface of the optical module comprises a receptacle to receive and align an optical fiber with the optoelectronic component.
An optical communication system, comprising:
- an optical fiber;
- an optoelectronic component having a predetermined shape;
- and
- an optical module that permits light traveling between the optical fiber and the optoelectronic component to pass therethrough, wherein the optical module comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the first surface of the optical module comprises a first mating feature produced using a lithographic process to receive the optoelectronic component, wherein the second surface of the optical module comprises a receptacle to receive and align the optical fiber with the optoelectronic component, and wherein the optical module comprises at least one lens that is integral to the optical module and that is positioned in an optical path between the optoelectronic component and the receptacle.
