Claim:
1. A photonic transceiver apparatus in QSFP package comprising: a case, comprising a base member, two partial side members being connected by a joint piece and coupled to the base member, a lid member including a cover coupled to the two partial side members and the base member to provide a spatial volume with an opening at a back end of the base member; a PCB, installed inside the spatial volume over the base member, including a board body extended from a front edge to a back edge, the back edge being near the opening at an back end of the base member, the board body comprising an array of metallic pin stripes at the back edge to form a pluggable electrical interface connector; multiple optical transmitting devices mounted in parallel on a common support member resting on the PCB near the front edge with corresponding laser output port aimed toward the back edge; a silicon photonics chip, mounted on the PCB, including a fiber-to-silicon attachment module to couple with a first fiber from each of the laser output port, and an optical input port and an optical output port disposed together on a front end of the base member near the joint piece for the two partial side members and respectively back connected via a pair of second fibers to the fiber-to-silicon attachment module.
