Abstract:
1. An optical device comprising: an upper housing, a printed circuit board, a lower housing, and an integrated chip and an optical transceiver module on the printed circuit board, a space between the upper housing and the lower housing accommodating the printed circuit board, the integrated chip, and the optical transceiver module; and a first flexible thermally conductive component between the printed circuit board and the lower housing, wherein one surface of the first flexible thermally conductive component is contacted with the integrated chip, another surface of the first flexible thermally conductive component is contacted with the lower housing, and the two surfaces are opposite to each other, wherein a first surface of the upper housing comprises at least one protrusion which exerts pressure against the printed circuit board to facilitate thermal contact of the integrated chip to the one surface of the first flexible thermally conductive component.
