Disclosed is an optical device including a first lens and a second lens. The first lens of the optical device is joined to an end surface of an optical waveguide of an optical element to emit light emitted from the optical element. The second lens is optically coupled with the first lens to convert the light emitted from the first lens into collimated light.

A photonics package may include a substrate, a hanging connector, and a fast-axis collimator (“FAC”). The hanging connector is typically affixed to a side of the substrate other than the side through which a light output is emitted. The hanging connector may be L-shaped in cross-section, having a base section and an extended section projecting from the base section. The base section affixes to the substrate while the extended section affixes to the FAC, so that the FAC extends downward along the emitter surface of the substrate; a vertex of the FAC is coplanar with an emitter outputting the light output.

An optical module includes: a casing in which light is propagated; a heating portion; a device arranged inside the casing and configured to change, when heated, characteristics of the light propagated inside the casing; and a first member thermally connected to the heating portion and the device, the first member including a hollow arranged in a heat transfer path from the heating portion to the device and configured to prevent convective heat transmission to an inside of the casing.

There is provided a highly convenient package for an optical module in which a device can be mounted as it is even when the number and mounting position thereof are different according to the device to be mounted. The package includes a base plate having a top surface on which devices are assembled, an optical fiber mounting component mounted on the top surface of the base plate, a direct current electrical interface component and a high frequency electrical interface component mounted on the top surface of the base plate. The optical fiber mounting component and the electrical interface components are separately manufactured, separately assembled on the top surface of the base plate, and fixed in different modes. The optical fiber mounting component is fixed by fastening with screws and fixed by soldering, and the electrical interface components are fixed by fastening with the screw.

An optical receptacle includes an optical receptacle main body and a cylindrical fixing member. The optical receptacle main body includes a first optical surface, a second optical surface, and an annular groove disposed to surround a first central axis of the first optical surface or disposed to surround a second central axis of the second optical surface. The fixing member is configured with a material with a smaller linear expansion coefficient than that of the optical receptacle main body, and is fit to the groove so as to be in contact with at least a part of an inner surface of the groove.

A receiver optical assembly includes: an optical platform, a receiver optical port and a wavelength division multiplexer being arranged along an optical path on the optical platform; a circuit board, a photodetector array being disposed on the circuit board; a mounting block, a focusing lens and an optical path shifter being disposed on t the mounting block, the mounting block being fixed on the circuit board, and the optical path shifter being placed above the photodetector array. Incident light containing a multi-channel optical signal enters through the receiver optical port, and the wavelength division multiplexer divides the incident light into a plurality of single-channel optical signal beams. The single-channel optical signal beams are coupled to photodetectors on the photodetector array after passing through the focusing lens and the optical path shifter on the mounting block.

An optical module includes: a substrate and a waveguide element having a mount face opposed to the substrate, the waveguide element having an interference waveguide portion having an optical interference function. Further, the mount face includes a projection region to which the interference waveguide portion is projected on the mount face and a non-projection region, and the waveguide element is joined to the substrate with a joint material in the non-projection region.

An optical module includes a shell, a circuit board, a light source, and a silicon optical chip. The circuit board is located in the shell, a hollow portion is provided in the circuit board, and the hollow portion penetrates the circuit board. The light source includes at least one laser assembly, and the at least one laser assembly is mounted on the shell and is located in the hollow portion, and the at least one laser assembly is electrically connected to the circuit board. The silicon optical chip is mounted on the shell and is located in the hollow portion. The silicon optical chip is electrically connected to the circuit board and is connected to the light source.

An optical module includes a base plate, a carrier, an optical semiconductor device, an optical lens component, and a transmissive resin member in a cured state disposed between the optical semiconductor device and the optical lens component. The optical semiconductor device has an optical end surface, and emits an outgoing beam from the optical end surface or receives an incoming beam at the optical end surface. The optical lens component has a first lens surface and a second lens surface, the first lens surface facing the optical end surface of the optical semiconductor device, the first lens surface being provided between the optical end surface and the second lens surface. The transmissive resin contains either an optical path of the outgoing beam or an optical path of the incoming beam between the optical end surface of the optical semiconductor device and the first lens surface of the optical lens component.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a lens clip that defines at least one mounting surface for coupling to and supporting an array of optical components, e.g., a laser diode and associated components, and an optical lens slot to receive and securely hold an array of optical lenses at a predetermined position relative to the optical components to ensure nominal optical coupling. The optical lens slot includes dimensions that permit insertion of each optical lens into the same and restrict travel along one or more axis. Accordingly, disposing an optical lens within the lens slot ensures correct alignment along at least two axis, e.g., Z and X, with the third axis (e.g., Y) extending parallel along the slot to permit lateral adjustment of each lens.
