Abstract:
1. An optical transmission device comprising: a support block having a supporting surface and a mounting surface, each arranged on adjacent surfaces of the support block, the support surface including a cathode pad and a plurality of anode pads, the cathode pad being large enough to enable a photonic device to be mounted thereon, and the mounting surface comprising a substantially flat mounting surface having a plurality of contact pads formed on the mounting surface; a first photonic device mounted on the cathode pad, the photonic device being electrically connected with the cathode pad and electrically connected to at least one of the anode pads; an optical lens element mounted to the supporting surface over the first photonic device; a receptacle mounted with the optical lens element to secure the lens element to the supporting surface; and electrical traces that connect the cathode and anode pads with respective contact pads of the mounting surface.
