Abstract:
1. An integrated optoelectronic module array, comprising: a component structure including a plurality of optoelectronic sub-modules, each of which comprises an optical transceiver module including a receive port associated with a receiving optical subassembly (ROSA) and a transmit port associated with a transmission optical subassembly (TOSA), the component structure being integrally formed such that each optoelectronic sub-module shares at least one wall portion with an adjacent optoelectronic sub-module, wherein the optical sub-modules are disposed belly-to-belly such that the receive ports of adjacent sub-modules are disposed in a row along a length of the component structure and the transmit ports of adjacent sub-modules are disposed in a row along the length of the component structure and adjacent to the row of receive ports; and a latching mechanism that enables the component structure to be selectively secured at least partially within an outer cage.
