Claim:
1. An optical system, comprising: a laser assembly in a hermetic enclosure; an optical modulator external to the hermetic enclosure, the optical modulator configured to receive an optical signal generated by the laser assembly and modulate the optical signal based on received data signals; a casing containing the hermetic enclosure and the optical modulator; an electrical transmission element disposed between the hermetic enclosure and a sidewall of the casing, the electrical transmission element extends, at least partially, along a first axis that is substantially parallel to both (i) a second axis on which the optical signal propagates between the laser assembly and the optical modulator and (ii) the sidewall, wherein the electrical transmission element is configured to provide the data signals to the optical modulator, wherein the electrical transmission element extends into a region between the hermetic enclosure and the optical modulator, and wherein the electrical transmission element curves in the region towards the optical modulator.
