Abstract:
1. An optical transceiver mating with an optical connector, comprising: an optical subassembly including a sleeve portion and a body portion connected to the sleeve portion, the body portion installing a semiconductor optical device optically coupled with the optical connector; a receptacle body made of electrically conductive material, the receptacle body includes an opening with an inner surface and a cavity, the opening being configured to connect the cavity to an outer surface of the receptacle body and to receive the sleeve portion of the optical subassembly such that the sleeve portion optically couples with the optical connector within the cavity; a substrate for mounting an electronic circuit electrically coupled with the optical subassembly, the electronic circuit radiating an EMI radiation; and a housing made of electrically conductive material, the housing covering the optical subassembly and the substrate, wherein the opening has a shape such that a gap between the sleeve portion and an inner surface thereof disappears as inserting the sleeve portion into the opening by being filled with the sleeve portion.
