The present disclosure is generally directed to techniques for thermal management within optical subassembly modules that include thermally coupling heat-generating components, such as laser assemblies, to a temperature control device, such as a thermoelectric cooler, without the necessity of disposing the heat-generating components within a hermetically-sealed housing. Accordingly, this arrangement provides a thermal communication path that extends from the heat-generating components, through the temperature control device, and ultimately to a heatsink component, such as a sidewall of a transceiver housing, without the thermal communication path extending through a hermetically-sealed housing/cavity.

An electronic product is further provided where the electronic product includes the optical module heat dissipation structure.

An optical module and a method of assembling the optical module are disclosed. The optical module comprises a laser unit, a modulator unit, and a detector unit mounted on respective thermo-electric coolers (TECs). The modulator unit, which is arranged on an optical axis of the first output port from which a modulated beam is output, modulates the continuous wave (CW) beam output from the laser unit. On the other hand, the laser unit and the detector unit are arranged on another optical axis of the second output port from which another CW beam is output. The method of assembling the optical module first aligns one of the first combination of the laser unit and the modulator unit with the first output port and the second combination of the laser unit and the detector unit, and then aligns another of the first combination and the second combination.

Provided are a tunable wavelength filter with an embedded metal temperature sensor and an external-cavity type tunable wavelength laser module. In detail, the tunable wavelength filter with an embedded metal temperature sensor and the external-cavity type tunable wavelength laser module achieve wavelength stability by forming a metal temperature sensor using a resistance change of a metal thin film according to temperature on a point on an isothermal layer having the same temperature distribution as the optical waveguide during a process for fabricating the optical waveguide with polymer to accurately measure a temperature of an optical waveguide.
