Abstract:
1. A pluggable optical transceiver comprising: a top housing; a bottom housing; and an optical-electrical assembly enclosed by the top housing and the bottom housing, the optical-electrical assembly comprising: the coupling optical element is configured to couple a first optical signal from the transmitting optoelectronic component to the light-guiding structure, and to couple a second optical signal from the light-guiding structure to the receiving optoelectronic component; the light-guiding structure is configured to couple the first optical signal to the external pluggable optical interface, and to couple the second optical signal from the external pluggable optical interface; and the external pluggable optical interface is configured to couple the first optical signal to an external transmitting optical fiber, and to couple the second optical signal from a receiving fiber.
