Claim Text:
1. An optical module apparatus comprising: optoelectronics including one or more semiconductor light sources and one or more photodetectors, the optoelectronic being located on a first printed circuit board; electronics interfacing with the one or more semiconductor light sources and the one or more photodetectors located on the first printed circuit board; one or more optical fibers optically coupled to the one or more semiconductor light sources and the one or more photodetectors, the one or more optical fibers being configured to receive light from the one or more semiconductor light sources and to transmit light to the one or more photodetectors; a thermoelectric cooler located on a second printed circuit board and sandwiched between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, the thermoelectric cooler being configured to receive the first printed circuit board, the thermoelectric cooler being configured to cool at least the optoelectronics located on the first printed circuit board; and a thermoelectric cooler controller located on the second printed circuit board, the thermoelectric cooler controller being configured to control the thermoelectric cooler, wherein the thermoelectric cooler controller is spaced apart from the thermoelectric cooler.
