Abstract:
An optical-electronic array module comprising:a submount, including an aperture extending therethrough, having an optical-electronic die mounted on a first side thereof; and an optical coupler, having a fiber-optic path therein for coupling a fiber-optic cable on a first end of the coupler with a second end of the coupler. wherein the coupler includes a feature matching the submount aperture, and wherein with the coupler feature inserted into the aperture the matching feature tends to: i) align an optical input or output of the optical-electronic die to the coupler fiber-optic path, thereby tending to optically couple the die input or output to the fiber optic cable, and ii) align certain electrical input or output pads on the optical-electronic die to face first electrical pads on the submount first side.
