Abstract:
1. A multi-source optical module comprising: a) an optical circuit that is positioned on a base of the multi-source optical module, the optical circuit having a first and a second optical input; b) a first and a second optical source that are positioned on the base of the multi-source optical module relative to the optical circuit; and c) a first lens being positioned between an output of the first optical source and the first optical input of the optical circuit, a second lens being positioned between an output of the second optical source and the second input of the optical circuit, at least one of the first and the second lenses being positionable with a positioning member that is shaped to facilitate moving the lens in the X, Y, Z and theta axis with a micromanipulator stage so that the output of a respective one of the first and second optical sources and a respective one of the first and the second optical inputs of the optical circuit are aligned.
